The topic of disclosure of personal information has already reached the turf of the Internet for netizens.
A large number of handheld ID photos appeared in the network
On the evening of September 4, the famous microblogging blogger @ Internet sent a message saying, "Would you like to know how your personal information leaked? Please search for Baidu's own handheld ID card."
More than one netizen commented on the microblog and found their own pictures. While netizens were shocked by such hidden and important information leaks, some comments revealed that not only Baidu, Google can also find photos of handheld ID cards.
TechWeb used Baidu, google, Bing search, 360 search detection found, as long as in these search engines enter "hand-held ID photos" can search the following photos.
Just when users were frightened at the fact that their personal privacy had been so completely leaked, TechWeb clicked on these photos and found that despite the fact that the face of the photographed person can be clearly seen, the specific information on the identity card was actually obfuscated. Clicking on these photos reveals that they come from two main types:
A sample photo. Samples of hand-held identity photographs are published in the study below. Similar Taobao shop photo authentication skills;
Second, advertisements and prize-taking activities require the provision of identity card information. This is mostly the promotional activities that the Internet financial platform has adopted to obtain more user registrations.
Not search engines leak personal privacy
Hand-held ID photos appeared on the Internet, and such incidents were enough to shock netizens. With such photos, our security of information will disappear once it is acquired by criminals. Contact with a series of previous telecom fraud incidents, the consequences are simply unthinkable.
In June of this year, the media exposed the “bare bar†loan of a lending platform. Female college students borrowed pictures of naked IDs as a “borrow†to borrow money through a lending platform. Once overdue, the lender would threaten to publish its nudity photos and intimidate them to pay back the money.
“Bare bar†borrowings have attracted widespread attention after being exposed by the media, but the subsequent development of the incident is still shocking. Some sellers sold girls and “naked†photographs and videos as "Student Bare Bars". More private lenders have said that if the “naked†mortgage is not repaid on time, they may introduce repayments for prostitution.
Of course, the search results of the search engine searched by the Internet on the Internet, "Handheld ID photos," and bare-bar lending are essentially different. These photos not only failed to identify the specific ID card information, but the key parts were also mosaicized.
Why can search engines find such photos? TechWeb interviewed a senior cyber security technician, according to which, as long as the website has provided such photos, search engines will capture such information and pictures.
The search engine crawls website information according to the Robots protocol. This protocol is also called crawler protocol, robot protocol, etc. The full name is "Robots Exclusion Protocol". The website tells the search engine which pages can be caught by the Robots protocol. Take which pages cannot be crawled.
The leakage of these hand-held ID photos is still at the source website. It did not encrypt the information. Search engines crawled the information according to the crawler protocol. As a result, the input of “hand-held ID photos†on the search engine appeared. Search for the picture.
Here I still want to remind my friends that all websites that involve uploading ID photos and uploading handheld ID photos need to keep an eye on them, and they must do their own ID cards without borrowing.
