Loosing Your Identity

This is one form of the latest identity theft that is happening.So after reading this blog please equip yourself against those malicious hackers.Please do not ever give your password on the net to an unknown person or a website.Reasently I came across a lot of persons who lost their passwords.Please login to your mail id with a care.Make sure you read all the messages that are displayed and then authorize it before login on to your respective email ids.This should save any unauthorised persons getting access to your email accounts.There are three main methods of hacking that are followed all over the world.First is the fooling of the server.this is done by forwarding a mail to a mailing address that virtually does n't exsist.followed by your mail id and your password and the victims email id.I am not sure how the above method would yeild results as the mail wud get auomatically rejected as "failure of delivery".Another method which cud be used for hacking is writing an html code which simulates an error in the login screen , but the un aware user gives his username and the password and accidently also approves the message " YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT TO AN UNKNOWN PERSON - CLICK OK or CANCEL".So please do not invite a trouble for yourself as there are already lots and lots of people who've lost their identity.The third method of hacking involves getting a hired gun that is a hacker.Hiring a hacker for cracking the passwords seems so foolish , but the hackers had made it a profession and they draw a good sal for cracking the passwords.I recently had an oppurtunity to view a hacker site who calls himself momo where the hacker first asks a person to give his mail id and then the victims mail id.The hacker asks for a two days time and wud forward the victims mail id along with his/her password for an amount of $50.So lots of clandastine activities are going on the net. So eqip yourself and be prepared for such an assault, as getting the information on the internet is just outsmarting the servers and the databases which holds the info and nothing else.
