I’ve previously written about the dark side of big data, and mentioned a few ways hackers steal our data — and how we’re all susceptible to mistakes. The immense amount of data we expose about ourselves make it incredibly easy to get targeted. Everyone has some weakness, some insecurity — maybe at some point a cookie tracked you clicking on one of those, “WHOA! Look how Celebrity X got these ripped abs!” or maybe you opted in on a coupon for hair loss prevention that turned out to be a scam.
