Have you ever get dough that your
account is being operated simultaneously by some other? If that is just an
account with not more than personal information, you are least bothered about
that. What if in case of it is a bank account or any of your personal mail
account with highly confidential data? You have no hint what is going to happen
to your account.
How Hackers do?
Before peep into the safety
methods let me explain you something how the hackers used to hack accounts. The
hackers are very good at hacking. They will make a home page which extremely
looks like the same home page which you are going to login.
They send you some notifications
to your mail id which is connected with the alternative mail id. While you are
trying to access from there, it will redirect you to the fake login page which
was created by hackers. You will try to login with your original credentials.
After entering your details the fake home page will redirect you to the
original home page which you really want to login. You need to re enter the
login details. You didn’t know what all you did, but certainly your account has
been hacked.
Let me explain you more clearly,
for an example you are an existing user of Facebook. It is used to send
notifications to your mail id which is connected with the Facebook id. The
notifications are like you have requests
from friends, 2 friends’ birthdays in this week and some wants to be friend
with you etc. finally you will click to see the page will redirects to the fake
login page which was already created by the hackers. When you give the details
like login id and password it will automatically saved to their folder and it
will redirects to the original home page of Facebook. This is called in jacking
language phishing, an email fraud scam.
How to Protect from Hack?
It is very simple to protect your
accounts from being hacked. Don’t try to respond to any notifications in your mail
box. Please note that you will enter URL in a new tab. Check whether the URL was spelled correctly. If you still have
any inquiries on phishing just leave a comment I will get back to you with
expert solution.
