YOGYAKARTA How to check the leakage of personal data on the internet must be known to everyone, so that you can take safety steps if it turns out that your personal data is leaked.

Please note, personal data from the Indonesian people is often leaked in cyberspace. This indicates that personal data is increasingly unsafe in the midst of the massive development of information technology.

Some personal data is often leaked, such as emails, passwords, addresses, and cell phone numbers.

Compiled by VOI from various sources, checking personal data leakage can be done by accessing sites that provide personal data checking services.

The following are the sites of personal data checking service providers and how to check them.

How to check personal data leakage can be done through the data check site.com. This site was created by the founder of the ethical hacker community, Teguh Aprianto.

The site is claimed to be able to detect a person's data leaked or not. Here's how to check for personal data leakage on the internet via the Check Data page:

The inspection page.com will provide any data information that is leaked, such as email, gender, full name, password, until the date of birth.

In addition, this site can also be used to check whether your population data is included in data that is allegedly leaked from BPJS or not.

However, the data used by Teguh was obtained from sample data provided by cybercriminals or hackers as much as 1 million data. Meanwhile, the leaked data is 279 million. This means that there is still a lot of data that is not covered on this page.
