Don't Hand Over Your DNI to Delivery Drivers: Cybersecurity Expert Warns of Identity Theft Risks

In Spain, concerns are growing over the practice of providing National Identity Documents (DNIs) to delivery drivers. A recent video by cybersecurity expert Marca Oficial de Rave Privacy has gone viral, highlighting the risks involved. "Your DNI is a master key, and you're handing it to strangers daily," warns the expert. The video points out that this practice isn't legally required and that leaked DNIs are sold on the dark web, enabling identity theft and fraud. The Spanish Data Protection Agency has also expressed concern over the misuse of DNIs by delivery companies. The video's popularity underscores a growing public awareness of online security threats and the need for greater protection of personal information. The expert urges citizens to question the necessity of providing their DNI and to explore alternative options, such as collecting packages at designated offices. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud.
