You’ve Been Hacked! Here’s What To Do by baseg25(m): 7:19pm On Aug 07, 2014 |
Russian criminals have stolen more than 1.2 billion Internet usernames and passwords, and the odds are decent that some of yours might be among them. There’s no need to panic at this point — Hold Security, the firm that discovered the theft, says the gang isn’t in the business of stealing your bank account information. Instead, they make their money by sending out spam for bogus products like weight-loss pills. That means you need to stay on your guard. If you see strange messages being sent from your email or social media accounts, you might be among those affected.

Nothing prevents hacking thanks to Microsoft for creating the Windows OS with stupid backdoors. It allows criminals from American government, criminals from Russian government and Chinese government to spy. Government people who partake in this spying through backdoor hacking (if you can even call it hacking since it takes 0 skill) deserve to go to jail. |

^ It's not like Microsoft said, hey lets make an operating system with back doors so that user data can be stolen. Lol. There is no foolproof or hack proof OS and I can bet that there will never be one. Windows gets a lot of attention from the hacking community because of its popularity, if OSX or Linux were as ubiquitous as Windows they'd feel the heat too. The tips outlined by the OP are very helpful, common sense can reduce the incidence and impact of hack attacks. |
