Your Profile Is a Dossier. Here's Who's Reading It.

Cybercriminals routinely harvest public social media profiles, LinkedIn posts, and breach databases to build detailed dossiers on individuals and organizations. A Huntress webinar walkthrough demonstrates how attackers use OSINT tools like dehashed.com and RocketReach to gather credentials, personal details, and organizational data without ever touching the dark web. Real-world examples include fake recruiter phishing campaigns, gift card scams, deepfake video interviews, and the Shiny Hunters Canvas breach affecting millions of students. Practical defensive advice covers limiting what you post publicly, freezing children's credit, using unique passwords and password managers, treating security questions as passwords, keeping devices updated, and reporting suspicious messages rather than just deleting them.
