A person’s personal informations that might be used to identify or steal that person is considered personally identifiable information (PII).Two categories can be used to separate PII. Linkable and Linked Information.Any information that can be used to uniquely identify an individual is referred to as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), while any information that may be connected to an individual is referred to as Personal Information (PI).Information security, data protection, personal privacy, and data privacy all depend on PII protection.Cybercriminals can obtain a person’s PII in a variety of ways. Social engineering attacks, such as phishing techniques, are one of the most popular methods. These techniques, which rely on psychological manipulation, prey on people’s trust. In order to obtain access to a victim’s system, threat actors manipulate and deceive them into disclosing sensitive information, usually personally identifiable information (PII).PII in India includes informations that can be used to identify a specific person, such as biometric data, passport details, Aadhaar, and PAN.
