Black Hat OSINT: Leveraging Data Breach Data for Privacy and Intelligence
While many people know stolen datasets exist, few understand how sophisticated and widespread this underground economy has become and how stolen data is acquired and used against them: Black Hat OSINT aims to change that.
This book will help you explore common mistakes that enable data theft and understand how attackers exploit stolen information to cause damage to your future by explaining why data is stolen, what methods attackers use to steal your assets, what they do with those assets, and how your own assets are ultimately leveraged against other individuals through an OSINT lens.
Rather than a tooling showcase, this book dives into attacker mindsets, the data breach ecosystem, and explaining how personal data becomes weaponized. By understanding these methods, you will be better equipped to defend yourself and learn how to minimize the damage coming your way by minimizing your digital footprint on the Web and beyond.
