The Hidden Identity
A resident of MoonyLand has been using fake names for his online accounts, believing this protects his identity. However, he is not very security-conscious with his passwords. While he uses pseudonyms for most of his online accounts, his banking account is securely verified through MoonyLand's Banking KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which ensures that his real name is used on the account.
Hackers have discovered that the individual's password for the MoonyLand Shopping account is Fisherman123.
Your task is to demonstrate how the hackers could potentially uncover the real full name of this individual, despite his use of pseudonyms.
- Reveal the individual's identity by exploring how a hacker might exploit weak security practices or leverage information from associated accounts.
- Analyze the Impact: Identify which principles of the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) were targeted in this attack.
- Write a Report: Detail your findings on how the real name was discovered and analyze the implications of such a breach. Include recommendations for improving security practices.
