You'd be so surprised at how much data is out there on us.

It is very easy now to find your parents' full name and parents' address, your kids, your... You can see, and if you Google me, or if you used to Google me, you'd be able to see my brother, my sister, my grandparents, where each of them lived, even IP addresses.

So it's all public knowledge.

Again, OSINT is open source intelligence.

And a lot of times people are like, oh, I'm going to get hacked.

And it's not a complicated hacker.

It's literally someone that's like doing their research on you and finding out the answers to your security questions.

So think about all the security questions, right?

Like your high school that can easily be found out, like your mother's maiden name also easily found out.

And it just the more information that you put out there online, the more information you're giving these people that it's easy for them to hack.

And I want to give you a little story.

So there is a company that I have been like partnering with and they really specialize in OSINT, which is open source intelligence.

And they have been able to generate emails and try to find like basically everything about you within 20 seconds using AI.

They like scrape all, anything open, which is if you've ever created a wedding registry, all of your social media posts, anything that you've ever said online.

And they've been able to piece together

who people are in like 30 seconds from that.

They even found the name of someone's dog because on their wedding registry, they had a dog bow and it said like, for Archie.

And it was like, their dog's name is Archie.

AI is so crazy and it's so easy to be able to pull information out from anything that's open.

So again, Facebook posts, social media posts, TikTok, blogs, news articles, wedding registries, anything that you've ever like sent to someone that's about you that they can read, that's not like locked down.
