Introduction

POV: You’re someone trying to be a creep and find information on your favorite content creator “FluffyDorito95”. You’re obsessed with them; you want to know where they live and where they work. You type their username into Google. You comb through the results, and you come across something you think is juicy

“Oh my God…Is that his Linkedin? THAT IS! His real name, where he lives and everything! Holy shit

But here’s the thing, this information is FAKE, but it shows up when you type in “FluffyDorito95”. Everything here is fake! The name, the location, the work history, all of it is fake, but you don’t know that.

You think you found FluffyDorito’s actual information, which is very normal for you to think. Most people won’t think to create a fake LinkedIn and have it rank in the search engines to deter potential stalkers. And now you’re going down a false rabbit hole using false information you think is real. This is why Data Poisoning is so important and should be talked about more

Data Poisoning

Data Poisoning is pretty much this: creating fake data and tying it to something, rather it be your real name or a name you go by on the internet.

Example: Your online name is “FluffyDorito95”, and you create some accounts (Like LinkedIn) around FluffyDorito95 with false information so it can rank in the search engine. And when potential stalkers find it, they think they found your real information.

How to Make It Rank

On this fake LinkedIn, you may say something in the bio like “I run a Youtube Channel called FluffyDorito95, come check me out”, or in the job history, you may mention FluffyDorito95 as one of your jobs, etc. Make a post containing the username. The username has to be present somewhere on the account so it can rank in the search engine when someone searches for it.

Be Careful with LinkedIn

The only problem with LinkedIn is that: they do tend to flag new accounts if you move too fast following people, adding friends, making posts etc, so if you’re going to do this, treat it like a real account and don’t move too fast. LinkedIn isn’t the only website you can do this with either.

Reddit is another good place to do this with. I will be talking more about that in the future so don’t forget to subscribe

But if you want a FULL GUIDE on this technique:

I have an entire guide that has a section talking all about Data Poisoning, ways to do it and websites you can use to create the false information along with other ways Content Creators (and regular people) can use to protect their online privacy called “The Perfect Pseudonym”. If you’re a content creator or wanting to become one, you NEED to have a pseudonym tied to your username, and that pseudonym needs to have its own information, its own identity, so if you ever get doxxed by a “fan”. It won’t be YOU getting doxxed, it will be your pseudonym.
