The last method that I would like to show you is how you can search in breached or leaked databases,
and since you don't have the email address, this means that you cannot go to haveibeenpwned and check
if an email address is found in a certain data breach or a data leak.
And that's why I have showed you how to use the hashed, because the hashed allows you to search by
phone number, full name, and other information.
And this is something that we have done in a previous lecture when we have searched for data on hashed,
and when we searched by his full name, we were able to get two email addresses.
This is the first one and his business email address that is on his website.
And after that we were able to find three passwords and we have searched for this unique password on
the hashed again.
And we're able to get additional email address that ends with gmail.com.
So by using the hashed we were able to get three passwords and three email addresses, which is something
that you have already learned in a previous lecture.
Now let's say that you do not want to use the hashed.
What you can do is just to gather basic information about the person.
For example, if they have a Facebook account, LinkedIn account, or a Twitter account.
And if they have these accounts, then you can download Facebook data leak, LinkedIn data breach and
Twitter data leak and search within these data breaches or data leaks.
And you might be able to find additional information.
For example, if you have searched within the Facebook data leak, you might be able to find a phone
number.
And by having a phone number, you can perform additional Osint methods or techniques that you are going
to learn in a future section to gather more information about the person.
And if you were able to find someone's LinkedIn account and they had an old LinkedIn account, then
you might be able to find their email address in the LinkedIn data breach.
And lastly, if they have a Twitter account, then you can look within the 200 million Twitter profiles
data leak and see if you can find their email addresses.
So this is a very simple method to find someone's email address.
It's not going to work all the time, but it is something that you can still use if you tried.
All methods that I've talked about in this section and none of them has worked, you can still try it
because you might be able to find the person email address.
