Does the hacker really exist?
When you browse the news on social media, you always hear that there are hacks and information theft. It makes you wonder how it happened and why? The hackers are behind this, as the hacker is like a fox. There are many reasons why hackers target websites and organizations and work to hack them. All for the sake of stealing information!! .Your information that you publish or share on social media or with your friends is not important to you. But on the other hand, it is what hackers are looking for, and through this information, they can hack your device. The information you provide is of no value, such as your date of birth, favorite number, or the like.
For a hacker, this information means something to you. It may represent a password for your account or something related to your business or credit card. Hackers are stealing your information and with this information they have obtained, they may hack your bank card. The information that you share on social media should be at least public and it is best not to do so at all.
What is meant by the word "public" is that this information does not symbolize something such as your date of birth, favorite numbers, or times of work. Hackers are very smart and cunning, so we describe them as foxes. In this article, we will talk a little about this information and what the hacker seeks, and we will also explain whether the hacker exists or not.
How does a hacker hack your device?
The so-called hacker does not exist. What's there are gaps and mistakes coming from you. For example, if we talk a little bit about Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, Make your Email and date of birth available to the public.
Here the hacker will store your information (Email + date of birth).
The hacker will search about you (by using your Email) on the social media to store a lot of information about you.
One of the ways a hacker uses to hack your devices is as follows:
The hacker will send a message to your email telling you that you must reset your password. He will send you a link and order you to click on it. Through this link you will be directed to a Facebook-like page where you will enter your old and new password and email.
After that, the data you entered will go to a hacker server. In the end, the hacker has your personal account now. This was very simple, only needing some of the wrong behaviors coming from you and through which the hacker hacked into your account.
