What Is A Google Dork? How Google Exposes Your Private Info

I have written an article meant for webmasters, so they can protect users from this privacy breach.

Almost every website you visit has a private “virtual notebook”, also known as a database stores everything you do on that website. If you give the site your credit card number or social security number, it is kept in their “virtual notebook”. You leave the site, believing that no one except you can get your information. Unfortunately, the entire world can get any information you’ve entered on almost any website, if your site doesnt hide private information from Google Search. Google Search indexes everything that is made public including “virtual notebooks” and the information stored within that notebook in their search results. If you’ve given a site your credit card number or social security number, then there is a very high chance that site isn’t secure and has that information open to the public then Google will automatically add the info to Google Search.

This information is very easy for anyone to find, especially for cyber-criminals because Google has made it so anyone can do a Google search with the words filetype: and then the extension for “virtual notebooks”.
