被盜資料:竊賊如何獲取您的身份和其他資訊

2011年10月《圖解科學》的特別線上增刊,資料盜竊:駭客攻擊

加入我們的科學愛好者社群!

儘管我們(通常會盡力)保護我們的個人資訊,但竊賊和駭客仍在不斷訪問我們的記錄。自2005年以來,這些資料洩露事件激增。雖然罪犯仍然是大多數入侵事件的幕後黑手,但現在許多最大的資料洩露事件是由“駭客行動主義者”造成的——他們是個人或團體,他們對公司或組織的行動感到憤怒,並透過暴露其記錄來抗議或反擊。然而,儘管最近媒體對電子間諜活動進行了報道,但搶奪筆記型電腦甚至翻垃圾箱仍然是窺探者獲取您資料的方式之一。以下是他們使用的方法的排名,由位於弗吉尼亞州格倫艾倫的開放安全基金會編制。
