Who Leaks Celebrities Person Photos And Videos?
Sometimes in the news, you get to know about some star or an artist whose personal photos/videos have been leaked on the internet and on social media. But have you ever thought about how does this actually happen?
Because they are stars, big celebrities so they must be having tight securities all around, isn't it?
One thing to keep in mind is leakage of personal data can happen with anyone, anytime and anywhere.
Try to understand that celebrities also have a similar level of security on their phones as we do, so technically, we all are equally vulnerable.
However, since they are big stars so the risk of some fraudster trying to steal their personal data remains higher.
Let us see some of the common reasons why this can happen and how you can avoid it.
Malicious Application
One of the most common reasons is having a malicious app installed on your phone.
This kind of app can monitor your device and can also upload your photos or videos from your phone to the server.
Always install apps from official app stores for your devices. And make sure to install the ones with good ratings, higher downloads, and which are trustworthy.
Always check for the permissions that the app is asking and see if they are relevant or not.
Remember if you install any unknown app and also give it permission to access a photo or gallery, then your data can be misused.
Weak Password
You need a password for the majority of your online activities.
It is easier for us to create and remember simple passwords, but this puts your online security at risk.
Your personal data can also be leaked through Password Guessing.
The password you create should not be difficult for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
Even though the majority of websites are secure, there is always the possibility that someone else with malicious intent may try to access or steal your information.
Hence make sure to have a strong password as it is one of the ways using which you can defend your account and personal information from hackers.
Also, opt for 2 step verification wherever this option is available. Nowadays you should find this extra layer of security option in most places.
Social Engineering
Many people think they are too smart to fall victim to a scam. But not many know that psychological manipulation attacks consist of a sophisticated set of techniques that can compromise your security.
In this, the person whom the victim trust and give his phone to, leak the personal photo from his phone.
As you can see the fraudster didn't even require any technical knowledge as well.
