Doxing attacks have recently become very common in society. Doxing is the practice of publishing someone's personal data such as KTP, driving license and so on with the aim of intimidating or embarrassing someone.

Cyber crimes such as doxing not only embarrass someone, but other effects can also be that someone's personal data that is published is used to commit fraud or borrow money in online loans, thereby harming someone.

We can actually prevent this doxing from ourselves. The easiest way is to stop expressing yourself excessively on social media. Sometimes expressing yourself excessively turns into a blunder. What happens a lot is that if someone is making a passport for the first time to leave the country, they will not hesitate to upload their passport on social media. So, this has the potential to be an entry point for cyber attacks such as doxing.

There are several ways you can prevent cyber attacks such as doxing, including:

1. Limit the information you share on social media
Don't let all important information about you be included in full on your social media account, starting from your full name, home address, telephone number and other personal data.

2. Be careful of unknown emails that ask for your personal data such as KTP, SIM and so on.
You can prevent this by using the Secure365 service from SecureTasks. If the email contains malware it will be quarantined in a virtual prison and send you a notification. You can visit securetasks.co.id to subscribe.

3. Use 2 factor authentication
You must do this so that when someone tries to hack your social media, they won't be able to immediately take over your social media account so they won't be able to share your personal data.

These are some important things that you must pay attention to so as not to become a victim of a doxing attack. Also avoid making online loans that require you to take a photo using your KTP, because that is the start of doxing crimes.
