Have you ever searched yours or other people’s names on Google images and photos of your childhood, or some embarrassing screenshot off Snapchat, or a photo you have been tagged in on Facebook show up? Well I’m here to tell how they get on Google, how you take them down and how letting out our email address to anyone can affect our future. Hackers have shared their information with me on how easy it is to hack these days.
So how do Hackers get on Google images in the first place?
Well believe it or not it starts with your email. If you use the same email for Facebook and Google docs, Microsoft 369 etc Google can get into your Facebook account and take the images you have been tagged in or made into your profile picture etc and put them on Google images. It’s pretty crazy how sharing your email to any website could potentially affect your social media.
So how can you take the images down from Google images?
Well for starters, remove all personal information from Google and restart email. It may take up to one week to remove information. Some websites might still be able to access this information. Different methods involve stopping that problem.
But what I wondered after reading this stuff on giving our email address to Google was if Google can get into our Facebook account by email what if you use Apple ID or ICloud Storage. Could Google potentially get into our Apple account, look through our front camera and get our credit card details?
ICloud hackers have known for years of an easy way to identify the email address behind an iCloud account. Finding an email address may not sound particularly valuable, but once iCloud hackers know the email address behind an account, they’re one step away from gaining full access to the account and raiding its photo backups.
What I’m trying to say is be careful who you share your email address with online. Once something is online it is no longer private.
