Paypal or e-gold accounts or any digital currency account are possible to hack.If you're thinking they are save, you stand a change to lose every penny from your accounts and even may have no access to them FOREVER.
It's real scam that happened and it could happen to you!
How save you are?
How secure on internet ? Whatever encrypt method we develop,later or sooner the hackers shall maneuver new techniques . However, you can feel much secure if you know how hackers intrude into your secure account? Learn how to avoid any financial loss and you can prevent it .
What is SSL Server?
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) means a standard for establishing a secure communications channel to prevent the interception of your critical information.
Primarily it enables secure electronic financial transactions on internet. All money processing companies such as AlertPay, Paypal, and e-gold etc use the most secure socket layers at their servers.
Hackers with their extreme skills and powerful computers (theoretically) can't intercept your communications with these companies.That's you think! But you might have experienced or heard that hackers have been accessing secure sites. Millions of dollars or government confidential file are drained every year from processing accounts. How do they hack it?
How the Hackers Break Into Your Most Secure Lock?
Don't shock,most of the time, In most of the Paypal hacking incidents, people provided their secured information willingly to the hackers without knowing it.
Hackers have been developing horribly sophisticated skills to access your secure accounts. If you are a programmer you may like to develop anti-hacking software. However, if you are a common man like me you must think that you're save if you don't let them access to your password.The truth is you just not aware you have reveal your password!Note that this post posted on scam amender blog.
How many possible ?
1. You Send Your Secure Information Through Email:
Email is insecure mode of communication. It can easily be intercepted. So it is dangerous to send your secured information through email. However, it is last nail in your financial coffin to send your user id and password directly to the inbox of a hacker.
Case study:
You receive an email from Paypal admin that due to some technicalities they have messed with your account. They ask your user id and password to fix the problem. You see that "From" field contains anything@paypal.com . You have nothing to fear and send your information directly to the inbox of a hacker who is misrepresenting as admin of the Paypal. There are programs which can hide real contact of the sender with some fake email address.
2. You Disclose Your User Id and Password to Hackers at their Websites.
This is one the most common technique hacker use.It is stranger but it easier than the previous one. You receive a security alert or asking for update your personal info from Paypal which requires you to log-in through the link or provided with the email. But in 100% cases that URL or form shall take you to some fake website that shall look like Paypal. You log in with your user id and password on that fade site but the log-in page of the Paypal re-opens. The re open one is the real one but you have just type your password ..
Alert!
You have been hacked. Don't think that you had mistyped your password (which we often do). Log-in to your account and change your password immediately.
3. You Pay hacker to Break in your account:
You may term me crazy but it is the most dangerous strategy that hackers use. They build a business-like website and put some products for sale ,usually they sell it with bargain price.You visit their site, select a product and click the payment button of any company logo they fade.
You may land at a fake website having copied web-pages of the concerned company. You try to log-in but that page reopens. (method#2)Not having Paypal hacking idea, you submit your information now at the real site to pay him $20.00 for the product. Next day or after some time you may find your account empty.
Not only you loss a bargain stock.You loss everything!
4. Misspelled Domain Name:
This one is tricky! You know nowadays anyone can get a domain name registered for a few bucks. The hacker shall simply get a domain name closer in look to the any of the money processing companies but with different spellings such as stompay, e-qold,paypla etc. Now it is matter of time. Whenever you make a typo (we do often), you shall land at this fake website. Thinking it genuine one, you put your secured information in the hacker's files. Busted!
Learn your lesson and always be caution...
