ARTICLE BY GOWTHAM
Gone are the days when email
hacking was a sophisticated art.
Today any body can access
hacking tips through the Internet
andstart hacking your yahoo or
hotmail account. All that is
needed is doing a search on
google with keywords like “how
to hack yahoo”, “hack yahoo
messenger”, “hotmail hack
program” etc. The following
article is not an effort to teach
you email hacking, but it has
more to do with raising
awareness on some common
email hacking methods.
Hackers can install keylogger
programs in the victim’s
computer. This program can spy
on what the user types from the
keyboard. If you think that you
can just uninstall such programs,
you are wrong as they are
completely hidden. After
installation, the hacker will use a
password and hot keys to enable
the keylogger. He can then use
the hot keys and password to
access your key entry details.
A keylogger program is widely
available on the internet.some of
them are listed below
Win-Spy Monitor
Realtime Spy
SpyAgent Stealth
Spy Anywhere
For more information on
keyloggers and it’s usage refer
my post Hacking an email
account.
Even if direct access to your
computer is not possible, hackers
canstill install a key logger from
a remote place and access your
computer using Remote
Administration Tools (RATs).
Another way of getting your
password is the use of fake login
pages that look exactly like the
real one. So, beware of the web
pages you visit. Also if you find
your computer behaving oddly,
there is a chance that some spy
program is running. On such
occasions it is better to try and
remove the malware or reformat
the entire hard disk.A detailed
Email Hacking tutorial is
discussed in the post Hacking an
email account.
