SIMPLE WAYS TO FIND EXPOSED SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Search engine dorking is a technique that uses crafted queries to find specific types of sensitive information on the internet, such as leaked documents or API keys. Another way to discover sensitive data is through GitHub dorking, which searches for accidentally committed credentials or API keys in public repositories. Tools like PublicWWW can be used to search for API keys and other sensitive information on live websites, while tools like S3Scanner help find misconfigured cloud storage buckets that expose private data.
