How do people get doxxed on Social Media?

An online friend of mine got doxxed on X after months of being involved in fanwars with a certain fandom. She never posted anything about herself on that account, it existed solely for fanwars and wasn’t linked to any personal accounts. She thinks someone may have found the email connected to it, but even that didn’t contain her name. How does that happen?

Is it possible to get an email/phone number from each other?

I've been seeing these reels on Insta about OSNIT tools and such. How hackers can get/use information about you from social media and whatnot. But, if they have your e-mail, can they get your number from that? and vice versa?

My discord got hacked with mrbeast dms to my friends

Hi guys! Ik this is so common and been happening to anyone recently but the thing is im only using a macbook and to be honest, i don’t really click links. Im a very very careful person because lots of my accounts esp gaming accounts has some value and im not talking about a few dollars here so i dont really download malicious contents or click any links.

Is there any way i can get rid of this? They hacked my gmail account with 2fa and my password is really hard like its a jumble of letters and numbers. This also happened to me last month but they hacked my instagram dump account instead.

After they opened my account, i got an email that they changed my EA & Carousell account password. After that, they opened my discord account and i even got a message for 2fa but i didn’t notice it earlier because im watching a series that time. Lots of my discord friends dmed me that i got hacked and only saw the dms after an hour. Luckily, they didn’t logged me out and i got to fix it immediately. I got banned from public chats in servers :((

Also, all of my social media accounts is currently deactivated. When i reactivate all of em, is it possible that they can still open it?

I really need yall help because this is not the first time they did this to me and im vv being honest with yall i dont click any links. I dont really like using cheats or so whatever coz im scared of getting banned but ill show my extensions which i never had a problem before.

Would You Know If Someone Hacked Your Account?

Many hacked accounts show warning signs before people notice them. Strange logins, unexpected messages, password changes and unusual activity can all be clues. Do you know what you would do if one of your accounts was compromised? Share your first step.

Hacker made himself primary admin on my adsense account. I cant change or remove his payment details. What do I do?

Hacker hacked into my parents YouTube channel. They were pulling in around 1 to 2 grand a month. He hacked into adsense and made himself the primary admin and changed the bank account details to his own.

We got the email back by changing the password from the email he hacked us with. But we cant seem to get the adsense account back. I have @ed teamyoutube on X who said "if you feel your account has been compromised heres an article"

We have access to YouTube and adsense but on adsense we are no longer primary admin. We have the guys full name address company name. We are based in the UK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did he do something weird to my phone?

Okay is it dodgy if I got my phone camera repaired and he asked for the password, I know I shouldn’t of given it to him but I did before i realised i probably didn’t have to. It took an hour and a half to repair a lens on the bottom camera, ( it’s still a little blurring but that might be from me damaging it I don’t know ) and then my WhatsApp messages are funny. A whole group chat previous messages were gone, where it would have notofications while the phone was being repaired, although I can see them on my laptop still. There was an old chat up the top but no messages or anything on it, but on my laptop it says a message was deleted. Then on my screen time in setting it said it was on settings for 40 minutes. Please tell me I’m just being paranoid.

I’m working in a rural setting, a different state to my home town, I found this repair shop online, has some bad but mostly positive reviews, and was a good price. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, I don’t know if that matters

I miss 1996-2004

Does anyone else miss the relative ease of network penetration back in the late 90s? What a time that was, everything was mostly exposed, just freely walk in and out, no issues.

hacked by phone number question

I have a specific question that might make me sound crazy, basically I had this whole thing happening where I thought I was being hacked/recorded for the longest time through my phone. After finding out I blocked the person everywhere I knew I had them online and changed emails for most of my logins i had them through (if that makes sense)

Anyways after all of that they still have my phone number because I never changed mine (they clearly deleted and got rid of anything they could)

And my question is how much information can you get just from having someone's phone number? They don't have my home address or anything else personal so I'm wondering if it's possible for them to just be in my phone with all my information years later.

I know I sound crazy and irrational but this person ruined my life and my sense of perceiving and trusting others and tech devices even
