Hackers all around there.....

Till some days ago, I thought I am following enough precaution to make sure I do not face any type of hacking. But one mistake, and they got me. And then I believed that hackers are spread all around the web and are just waiting for a mistake from your side.
You all can find a facebook page named "Dreamzzz. A Reason To Live". I have mentioned it's address on the "Contact Us" page of this blog also. I just made a very careless mistake. I made an unknown person administrator of the page and the very next day I saw, and I myself wasn't the admin of the page. Contacting the person didn't did any good, but just led to a thread of abuses........

Update: I got the page removed from facebook. Now the fan page address that is mentioned in the contact us page is a new page that I created again.

So the thing is that it is upon ourselves to protect ourselves from any type of hacking. We must have a knowledge of how and in what ways hacking can be done. I am listing the major ways use for hacking.

Phishing:
The most commonly used way of hacking is phishing. The hacker tries to get your username and password of any account and then hack it. For this, commonly an e-mail is sent to you that seems like it is sent from the site on which your account is. The e-mail asks you to provide your password which is then sent to the hacker. It involves creating a webpage that imitates the login page of the website where you enter you password.

Well there are many other methods like sql injection, keyloggers and many others. Nut I wouldn't get into all that. The reason being that I am myself not a hacker and I don't like copying content. And also I don't want anyone to get into the world of hacking. Why would you want to hack someone's account? Just mind your own business. And, the laws are very strict these days and if someone whose account you hack is really serious about it, you can be sure you are gonna get into a great trouble!!!!!!!!!!
