Do you know what "human flesh unboxing" is?
The term "doxing" is derived from the term "human flesh", which refers to the search for and disclosure of private information of a specific individual, such as real name, address, contact information, etc., through online means.
"Unboxing" is another internet buzzword related to it, which means "opening" someone's private information and making it public, similar to opening a box so that everyone can see the contents.
So, put these two words together, everyone can think of not a good thing.
So what is the most commonly used method? Obviously, it is a mobile phone number!
Recently, CCTV forwarded a video of the Tongling police in Anhui Province, which attracted a lot of attention.
The content of the video is very simple, that is, to remind everyone to pay attention to all the software bound before unbinding when changing the mobile phone number, otherwise the holder of the new mobile phone number can easily log in to your WeChat and Alipay.
For example, a netizen said that he had applied for a new mobile phone number, and after inserting the card, he found that the number had been registered on WeChat.
Through this mobile phone number, netizens easily logged in to Taobao and Alipay, and found a large number of consumption information and addresses. Netizens also tried to log in to Weibo in the future, but there was no hindrance, and they even learned about the life of the former owner.
In view of this situation, netizens thought it was too dangerous, and quickly found the other party according to the information they got and reminded them.
It can only be said that fortunately, the netizens who bought new mobile phone cards are not bad people, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Similar incidents are not uncommon, and many people on Weibo said that the software registered with their previous mobile phone numbers was suddenly logged in by others, and these mobile phone numbers have been cancelled.
In fact, the root cause of these problems lies in the operator's "secondary release" policy.
With the increase in the number of users, mobile phone numbers have become a scarce resource. Some numbers that have been inactive for a period of time are reclaimed and put back on the market.
Although this is a normal operation of the operator, it can lead to the leakage of personal information if you are not careful.
Because the cancellation of the mobile phone number only dissociates it from the operator, and the account information such as social networking and payment bound to it may fall into the hands of the new account owner.
So, is there a way to solve it? No, you can only rely on yourself to unbind the relevant software to avoid privacy leakage.
In fact, now it is not only the mobile phone number that leaks personal privacy, but also the mobile phone is a big hidden danger.
Netizens shared their experiences, saying that they sold their old phones after getting a new one, and made sure that all information was completely erased before selling.
However, just four days later, his friends received a series of text messages in his name, asking for money. He seriously suspected that the old mobile phone acquisition platform had leaked his information.
Moreover, there are many online stores that claim that even if you do a factory reset, your phone's data can still be recovered. As a result, many people would rather leave their unused phones at home than sell them to second-hand traders.
However, it's not enough to just take care of your phone to ensure privacy.
Privacy can be compromised in every aspect of our lives – the food you've ordered, the ride-hailing rides you've taken, the websites you've signed up for, and even the free WiFi in public places can leak your personal information.
Some people can get your mobile phone number, real name, home address, and other personal information just by using just one account name. The hotels you have stayed in and the places you have traveled may all be traced, which is called "doxing".
In the past two years, "human flesh search" has evolved into "human flesh unboxing", which means that some people use illegal means to publicly expose other people's privacy and data information.
In this way, these "box openers" will gather a large number of people to harass and abuse people on the Internet by phone calls to those who are "out of the box", constituting a combination of "human flesh search + cyber violence".
I have to say that the development of network technology has made our lives more convenient, but it has also made us more dangerous, and everyone must protect their information.
