00:00Just using Google, you can find out about your leaked personal data.
00:04Have you ever felt like you never gave your cell phone number to anyone?
00:08But suddenly there are lots of loan offers or fraudulent SMS coming in?
00:12It could be that your personal data has been widely spread on the internet without you realizing it.
00:18The bad news is, anyone can find it.
00:21The good news is, we can use Google to track the extent of our data leaks.
00:26This technique is often referred to as Google Dorking.
00:30Hackers use it to find loopholes, but we will use it to defend ourselves.
00:35The method is very simple.
00:36Try opening Google, then type your name between two commas.
00:41These quotation marks will tell Google to search for results that exactly match your name,
00:46and not just similar results.
00:48If your name appears on a site where it shouldn't be,
00:52such as data buying and selling forums or PDF documents that are open to the public,
00:56then you are in danger.
00:58So what should we do if our data has already been leaked?
01:03The first step, use the Result About You feature.
01:07Google now has a special feature to request the removal of personal information from their search results.
01:19If your email is leaked, make sure hackers still can't get in because they are blocked by the verification code on your phone.
01:36Remember, in the cyber world, data is the most valuable currency.
01:41Don't let strangers have it for free.
