Public and Private Profile Audit Report 2022

Public and Private Profile Audit 1
Introduction
This report explain much about our security issues due to our exposure to the internet. From the
simple exercise analysis which I carried out individual indicates that being an on net individual means a
lot. The moment you just register your details over the internet has an effect on you. In this case, it was
found out that you will risk losing your own personal privacy. This is because the internet is increasingly
raising its features like very fast accessible internet and the optimization. More so the issue of machine
learning has led to an increase rate of security issues. This is because, when you search for a particular
word online, this machine learning algorithm will cycle looking for the most preferred word (Anderson-
Gough, Grey, and Robson, 2005). For example, I may be in need of getting more details of someone
whom I know the name and I will just type the name on the browser. The browser will be able to bring
out all the possible outputs. Of course if the intended person has ever register its details online I will get
to know. The privacy of this individual is no more.

Profile Analysis
Comparing information available both in private and public profile
Public profile in comparison to private profile shows that public profile has exposed fewer details
concerning you. In addition to that, it exposes crucial information which may be used to hinder your
security (Juarez, and Brown, Alphacap Ventures, 2010).
Experimentally, I tried to use my accounts to retrieve some information about myself from
Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin. I tried this by just typing my name on the browser and it was able to
display a list of persons. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that I will appear in the list. This shows that being
online is very vital to your security. Things like phone contact and email addresses should be considered
and put in private because this are some of the key elements which may lead you to being insecure.
In fact, on my own research for this report, I found that the amount of information which has
been exposed publicly over private details amounts up to 85 %( Papacharissi, 2009), (Juarez, and Brown,
Alphacap Ventures, 2010). This is a very good number for hackers to retrieve all your information.
Professional hackers doesn’t need more than 10% of your details so that they pool out your details
