As mentioned in previous articles I am absolutely fascinated with ‘OSINT’ (Open-Source Intelligence) and ‘Information Gathering’ when it comes to ethical hacking and cybersecurity, maybe I am some kind of voyeur who likes snooping but I suppose it’s always been there as I love people watching when travelling, I used to travel a lot in…
