Cybercriminals use various channels to obtain personal data from their victims, including social engineering attacks. However, imagine if this supposedly confidential information was available with a simple browser search. That’s the reality of data breaches in the cybersecurity world, where internal information of a state, company, or entity is exposed.
Recently, Argentina experienced major leaks, where personal information of citizens was exposed. This highlights the danger of data breaches and the need for stronger privacy measures.
Google has now launched a new feature to enhance user privacy by allowing individuals to locate personal data like names, phone numbers, and IDs on the internet without any protection. This feature can make it harder for malicious users to access personal information.
To activate this feature on Google, users can follow these steps: Google will notify users if their specified information appears in the search engine. While Google cannot completely remove personal data from the internet, it can make it harder for malicious users to access it.
This new Google function is yet to be available in all regions, including Argentina. Users may need to use a VPN to change their connection location to access this tool. By following the steps provided, users can protect their personal information and mitigate the risks of data breaches.
