1
00:00:00,250 --> 00:00:08,130
Sperm as I'm sure you are aware is unsolicited messages most often coming in e-mail like the one you

2
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:13,310
can see here trying to get you to buy pharmaceuticals or some other nonsense.

3
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:20,550
But they also comb through instant messages forums social media even text messages.

4
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:28,300
Now blogs wikis and pretty much anywhere else they can think of you know to spam you mostly is to advertise

5
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:29,910
some sort of product.

6
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:35,820
You would think that spamming wouldn't work but the barrier to entry to become a spammer is low.

7
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:44,910
So spamming remains economically viable because spammers have very small operating costs and it is difficult

8
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:49,020
to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings.

9
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:52,940
It's relatively easy to hide where the emails are coming from.

10
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,850
If you send millions upon millions of e-mails you know for very small small percentage take the bay

11
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:08,020
the e-mail protocols we use today and always use were designed in a time of trust.

12
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,290
So there is little defense built into those protocols to defend against spam.

13
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:19,300
And that's something we're going to cover a lot more in the section on e-mail security with spam if

14
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:24,000
or any e-mails if you didn't request it then you should be suspicious of it.

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,010
Doxing something completely different to spamming docs is an abbreviation of document doxing is to do

16
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:40,170
research on an individual or it can be an organization or company to find personal and private information

17
00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:47,270
often in order to cause embarrassment discredit extort coerce harass.

18
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:54,570
You know just generally cause problems for the victim by publicly releasing the information or the threat

19
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,440
to publicly release it.

20
00:01:56,510 --> 00:02:02,010
If someone is said to be dogs it means that information about them has been made public or has been

21
00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:08,130
broadcast in some way and can be achieved by simply searching on the Internet and looking at public

22
00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:08,760
records.

23
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,940
There's often lots of information about people out there that they don't realize you know you can search

24
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:22,170
through social media sites and forums which is one reason why you should keep anything private.

25
00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:27,680
Private people are quite surprised at the amount of information that is actually out there on them.

26
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:34,340
It can also be done through contacting your phone company through IP address lock ups.

27
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,680
They know where you are.

28
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:42,400
You or your general location looking at browser history domain name who is information basically.

29
00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:49,590
Whatever method the doctor can use based on their level of skill it can involve social engineering and

30
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:54,020
tricking people to give away information that they otherwise wouldn't.

31
00:02:54,030 --> 00:02:58,980
It can also escalate to hacking the victim's computer and accounts.

32
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:06,750
Examples include anonymous releasing the identities of members of the Klu Klux Klan and Donald Trump

33
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:10,740
reading out the phone number of Senator Lindsey Graham.

34
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:15,010
The ethics of doxing is obviously considered questionable.
