WEBVTT 00:00.250 --> 00:08.130 Sperm as I'm sure you are aware is unsolicited messages most often coming in e-mail like the one you 00:08.130 --> 00:13.310 can see here trying to get you to buy pharmaceuticals or some other nonsense. 00:13.470 --> 00:20.550 But they also comb through instant messages forums social media even text messages. 00:20.550 --> 00:28.300 Now blogs wikis and pretty much anywhere else they can think of you know to spam you mostly is to advertise 00:28.300 --> 00:29.910 some sort of product. 00:30.030 --> 00:35.820 You would think that spamming wouldn't work but the barrier to entry to become a spammer is low. 00:36.030 --> 00:44.910 So spamming remains economically viable because spammers have very small operating costs and it is difficult 00:44.910 --> 00:49.020 to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. 00:49.110 --> 00:52.940 It's relatively easy to hide where the emails are coming from. 00:53.160 --> 00:59.850 If you send millions upon millions of e-mails you know for very small small percentage take the bay 01:00.150 --> 01:08.020 the e-mail protocols we use today and always use were designed in a time of trust. 01:08.040 --> 01:13.290 So there is little defense built into those protocols to defend against spam. 01:13.350 --> 01:19.300 And that's something we're going to cover a lot more in the section on e-mail security with spam if 01:19.460 --> 01:24.000 or any e-mails if you didn't request it then you should be suspicious of it. 01:24.000 --> 01:32.010 Doxing something completely different to spamming docs is an abbreviation of document doxing is to do 01:32.010 --> 01:40.170 research on an individual or it can be an organization or company to find personal and private information 01:40.650 --> 01:47.270 often in order to cause embarrassment discredit extort coerce harass. 01:47.400 --> 01:54.570 You know just generally cause problems for the victim by publicly releasing the information or the threat 01:54.720 --> 01:56.440 to publicly release it. 01:56.510 --> 02:02.010 If someone is said to be dogs it means that information about them has been made public or has been 02:02.010 --> 02:08.130 broadcast in some way and can be achieved by simply searching on the Internet and looking at public 02:08.130 --> 02:08.760 records. 02:08.760 --> 02:14.940 There's often lots of information about people out there that they don't realize you know you can search 02:14.940 --> 02:22.170 through social media sites and forums which is one reason why you should keep anything private. 02:22.170 --> 02:27.680 Private people are quite surprised at the amount of information that is actually out there on them. 02:27.690 --> 02:34.340 It can also be done through contacting your phone company through IP address lock ups. 02:34.360 --> 02:35.680 They know where you are. 02:35.700 --> 02:42.400 You or your general location looking at browser history domain name who is information basically. 02:42.450 --> 02:49.590 Whatever method the doctor can use based on their level of skill it can involve social engineering and 02:49.590 --> 02:54.020 tricking people to give away information that they otherwise wouldn't. 02:54.030 --> 02:58.980 It can also escalate to hacking the victim's computer and accounts. 02:58.980 --> 03:06.750 Examples include anonymous releasing the identities of members of the Klu Klux Klan and Donald Trump 03:06.870 --> 03:10.740 reading out the phone number of Senator Lindsey Graham. 03:10.740 --> 03:15.010 The ethics of doxing is obviously considered questionable.
