How to search people online using Phone Number or Email.
You can search people online using Phone Number, Address, E-mail:
Now I'm putting some links where you can search about peoples.Attackers can use phone numbers to look up your physical address via sites like
http://www.411.com, and
They may also use your phone number to help them target their war-dialing ranges, or
to launch social-engineering attacks to gain additional information and/or access.
Contact names and e-mail addresses are particularly useful datum. Most organizations
use some derivative of the employee’s name for their username and e-mail address (for
example, John Smith’s username is jsmith, johnsmith, john.smith, john_smith, or smithj,
and his e-mail address is jsmith@example.com or something similar). If we know one of
these items, we can probably figure out the others.
Other personal details can be readily found on the Internet using any number of sites
like http://www.blackbookonline.info/, which links to several resources, and http://
www.peoplesearch.com, which can give hackers personal details ranging from home
phone numbers and addresses to social security numbers, credit histories, and criminal
records, among other things.
In addition to these personal tidbits gathered, there are numerous publicly available
websites that can be pilfered for information on your current or past employees in order
to learn more information about you and your company’s weaknesses and flaws. The
websites you should frequent in your footprinting searches include social networking
sites (Facebook.com, Myspace.com, Reunion.com, Classmates.com), professional networking
sites (Linkedin.com, Plaxo.com), career management sites (Monster.com, Careerbuilder
.com), family ancestry sites (Ancestry.com), and even online photo management sites
(Flickr.com, Photobucket.com) can be used against you and your company.
