An Easy Way To Get Hacked by chickso43(m): 8:36pm On Oct 30, 2017
In all honesty, our phones, tablets, phablets, computers, and passwords are not as safe as we have been made to believe. So many methods out there are being employed by hackers to compromise data as huge as terabytes. The more sophisticated the data security provided, the more brutal and sophistication required to hack through.
In a situation were the accounts of Mark Zuckerberg: the founder of Facebook were hacked, and his password revealed as ‘dadada’, or the millions of passwords and user data stolen from yahoo and LinkedIn, and the most recent equifax data breach of sensitive information including credit card details of over 143 million Americans, who else is safe?
This easy method employed by novice hackers I’m about to tell you of is called ‘phising’. It is so easy to notice and at the same time, so easy to not notice. This method is not as sophisticated as the stuxnet worm used in damaging almost one fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuge or the method used in transferring $101 million from the Bangladesh central bank by hackers in 2016, or data theft of America’s National Security Agency (NSA) sensitive documents by Edwin Snowden or, or the sensitive United State(US) and many country’s secrets leaked by wikileak. This method is so simple that it doesn’t require any sophistication in programming or hacking to successfully execute.
Fake Facebook url
Considerable amount of people fall prey to this scam called phising and voluntarily but unknowingly hand over their usernames and passwords to a malicious website created to look like their email, social media, online stores or bank’s websites. So, the next time you click on a link either in your email claiming to be from your bank, asking for your Internet banking details to login, or a link in Facebook or those gossiping blogs asking for your username and password, before rushing to login, check the url and be sure it’s that of your bank or the social site or the online store.
Fake Gtbank url
The next time you keep trying to login to any of your bank or social accounts and it keeps returning you to the same login page, you may be unknowingly sending your username and password to a hacker. In that case just check the link and if it’s not the real one, quickly login to the real one and change your password before that novice hacker access your bank account and empty it, or social media site to post rubbish.
