在本文中，我们将“个人身份信息”(PII)定义为可单独用于区分或跟踪个人身份的信息，或者当与其他可链接到特定个人的信息结合时用于区分或跟踪个人身份的信息。在线社交网络(OSN)的流行加速了互联网上海量个人信息的出现。我们的研究表明，第三方可以将通过OSN泄露的PII与OSN站点内和非OSN站点上的用户操作链接起来。我们将这种链接PII并将其与其他信息结合的能力称为“泄漏”。我们已经确定了发生这种泄漏的多种方式，并讨论了防止它的措施。
For purposes of this paper, we define "Personally identifiable information" (PII) as information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity either alone or when combined with other information that is linkable to a specific individual. The popularity of Online Social Networks (OSN) has accelerated the appearance of vast amounts of personal information on the Internet. Our research shows that it is possible for third-parties to link PII, which is leaked via OSNs, with user actions both within OSN sites and else-where on non-OSN sites. We refer to this ability to link PII and combine it with other information as "leakage". We have identified multiple ways by which such leakage occurs and discuss measures to prevent it.
