Reptiles are actually not as simple as you think. Have you ever received a phone call from a stranger who not only knew your name, but also your birthday, address and other personal information? This is no longer a coincidence, but comes from the collection of information in this dark industry chain. Where does this personal information come from? That has to be said - reptiles!
From what I know, many companies and organizations create public databases for commercial purposes. These databases may contain large amounts of personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers, etc. Attackers can automatically extract this information through crawlers and use it to send spam or other forms of abuse.
Why will all your information be recorded when you click on a link? Social media and online platforms are the main sources of information leakage. The footprints we leave on the Internet, such as birthdays, family members, hobbies, etc., all become clues for attackers to obtain information. A social media survey may have revealed your entire life trajectory. And the posts you make on various forums may also reveal your personality traits and sensitive information. These seemingly insignificant pieces of information were collected and pieced together by criminals to form a true information portrait.
Why are people now more and more concerned about data security? Data breaches are a significant source of exposure to personal information. Data breaches occur frequently in large enterprises. Hackers can use crawler technology to exploit vulnerabilities to invade databases and steal large amounts of user information, which is then sold at low prices in the underground market. Our personal information may have already been traded on a black market, but we haven't discovered it yet.
What’s even more frightening is that phishing attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated. Attackers pretend to be legitimate institutions such as banks and social media, send fake emails or text messages, and lure users to click on links and enter personal information, thereby stealing sensitive data. Once caught, your personal information may be crawled and sold on the black market, becoming a tool for criminals.
But there are good and bad crawlers, it depends on how you use them. If you want to learn crawler technology and develop a side business with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, an IP proxy is essential. Many websites restrict frequent access to the same IP address to prevent crawlers and malicious activities. By using an IP proxy, crawlers can take turns using multiple IP addresses to avoid being banned or restricted access. A part-time job as a reptile will help you make money while you are away.
