Despise to say this but, the need of the hour is being compromised by other subjects which are anecdotal & pointless.

Dear aliens, strangers & my fellow bloggers with Non-IT foundations, you must’ve tuned in to different news & social media posts claiming the breach of user’s information/data from different companies.
“Don’t please, If you don’t mind don’t! Don’t press the back or close icon yet” Look, I get it. These things appear boring & why shouldn’t they?
You guys are doing your jobs, planning for the future, handling awful kids (apologies), stress, anxiety & a hell lot of more. Then why you should be the one to care for these things? Why not those programmers or ethical specialists working within the organization?
Most importantly, why not these various companies?
I’ll make it quick `~` Companies don’t give a damn about your privacy or data. They give it to other to others and earn revenue. But, they do it in a governed manner or I should say enough to not get imprisoned. (More in See last 2 paras.)
I know that this data is what is used to market things to people, so I can’t be totally against it, but it’s still kind of scary to think about how many strangers or unauthorized companies can know far too much about you, even if you are a safe, responsible person online.
Now, breaching happens when a hacker attack on servers, gets into the database(not physically) & gains some encrypted data. He/she decrypts it & wallha… your IP address, mobile no, home address, email-id & much more are compromised.
Companies like Facebook, Big basket, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, True caller & the list goes on are more vulnerable even after hiring the best cybersecurity specialists.
Hackers put your credentials on the dark web for sale.
(What is the dark web? Dark web)
Why you should believe me? See below image–

This is the data of over 5 crore Indians and the USA. It consists of IP address, mobile no, home address, name, and email. Enough to exploit or harm anyone up to a certain level which no one can undo.
It was breached 2 months ago & was listed as one of the highest breaches
I can provide some identities of those who suffered from these but, that’s really sensitive content. (Mail me if you want)
Ultimate solution– My utmost request to everyone- Stop using true caller. It’s for the best. Reason True caller wondering
Whenever you install an app in which you have to put your address, try not to put the exact house number if it isn’t official work.
Don’t use a clear profile pic. Make it blurry regardless of any application you use.
Don’t click on any random popup or link.
If you’re a parent then always keep a close look at what your children are browsing or whom they’re talking to if they’re minors.
There are ways to keep track of your child’s activities without letting them know.
Interested? Mail me. I’ll provide you the instructions pdf. (There is a difference between caring and invading child’s privacy)
Remember~ PRIVACY theft is like a biological virus. You may think that it won’t happen to you but man!! It will if you don’t take precautions.
I’ve tried to make this post as simple as possible and easier to understand. Hope you’ll learn and apply at least a single change of what’s listed.
Note- I’ll be attaching one specific tag to posts from now on. If you’re interested, then kindly follow the tag ~ “BlurredTanishqTalks”

Thanks for such good advice, many of which I’ve been violating for a long time. No wonder I often have this haunting feeling that my computer is somehow being watched by a hacker thousands of miles away.

Stopped using true caller years back because of a data breach.
It is so so freaky how hackers have so many avenues to get our data. The other day I got a fake payment request (for a small amount) on my ID with my dad’s correct details mentioned in the bill i.e. Name, Phone, Email – which had me thinking for a second that it may be correct – thankfully I crosschecked with him and turns out it was a scam!

That’s for sure.
However, it’s not true that these giant companies can’t stop the breach with all the resources available, they just don’t want to.
The effort is not enough. And with all that, it’s on us to protect ourselves as much as we can.
I’ve already written a post on the “dark web” last year. The link is just below the GIF within the blog.
Really appreciate you for saving my name. Lol.

This is definitely a crime and serious issue. Stealing personal details and using them for god knows what can make any person nervous. It’s like you’re on display. Who to trust, what to click, what not to fill out. It’s essential to be careful. Thanks for simplifying it. Great post! 🙂

Stealing anything was a crime back in the 90s. At present, it’s a business. A cybercrime business.
By this post, I wanted every one of my non-IT blogger/user friends to get some basic details in order to protect themselves to an extent.
The images I attached clearly show the user’s data exploitation.
I’m glad you find this post helpful.

Certain sites with “Black hat SEO.”
Black hat SEO is an illegal technique to improve page ranking.
Now, what happens is that google ban those websites by tracking their activities(unethical).
But, there are ways to fool even google and continue with black hat SEO.
Many are doing that.
I’ve got a blog in draft about LinkedIn. It’s a harsh reality(with user’s true experience). Will publish it by the end of the next month.
Thanks for your views, Lokesh.

Actually, I was referring to the giant sites. For example, Amazon, Wikipedia and google itself.
But as you mentioned Black Hate SEO, above mentioned sites serves a big purpose.
Small websites still struggle to improve their ranks. In the digital world –
“Nothing is greater than a potential idea and courage to transform it into a goldmine of content.”
Lifehack, Lifehacker, Huffpost, Hiffington post, Britannica are such examples.
Netflix and Amzon Prime Video running the video content. YouTube is the centre of the whole internet. ( I use YouTube a lot than any other platform).

It’s really a bad time for people all over the world with their data lying in the hands of the biggest companies on one hand and with hackers on the other, with both benefitting immensely. I think the lack of awareness, as well as the carelessness of people are the reasons for this problem. We need to do more on our part, and the companies need to be held liable for misusing our data.

First of all, I’m impressed by your view. You mentioned the same thing which I’ve tried to provide everyone.
Companies holding our data, privacy is a myth & similar to that statements are true. But,
“”we need to do more on our part”” ~ That’s what people need to understand.
We can’t just escape our way by saying that, “what could possibly happen to me?”
