In this eye-opening clip, we dive into the terrifying reality of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and how AI is weaponizing the data you leave behind. It’s no longer about complex hacking; it’s about the "digital crumbs" we scatter daily. From your old Facebook posts to your forgotten wedding registry, AI can now scrape, analyze, and profile you faster than you can blink.

They even found the name of someone's dog because on their wedding registry, they had a dog bow and it said like for Archie and it was like their dog's name is Archie. AI is so crazy and is so easy to be able to pull information out from anything that's open. So again, Facebook posts, social media posts, Tik Tok, blogs,
