Prevent Online Hacking

                                 Prevent Online Hacking

These days we can hear and see many sites and account are being hacked and important information’s are stolen and misusing it. The website owners and others are taking many measures to stop it but they cannot do it fully and only up to some extent they can do it.

Here I am going to say is that you can also take some measures to prevent the hacking, stealing and misuse of your personal and other information. You may have account in many social networks like facebook,Orkut,Hi5,Twitter etc many where you personal information are stored and if this accounts are hacked then the hackers will get information about you.

You may heard that recently the Orkut was hacked and many people lost their account and including my friend whose Orkut account also was been hacked and some were affected by viruses also. The Facebbok have strong measures to prevent hacking but some applications in Facebook will hack your account and spread viruses to your computer.

Once my friend Gmail account was hacked and they used that Gmail account to send the viruses, adult things and many advertisements to the contacts stored in that Gmail account like this will affect you so badly your friends will think you are sending the unwanted things but the truth is that the hacker is doing it.

Some measures you can do to prevent it is always change your passwords and never inform to others or send as mail or store in any other online sites because it can be founded easily.

Never open spam folder in your Gmail and never read the mail from the undefined sender.

Install a good antivirus which will give you online internet protection for your computers.

Un-install the unwanted cookies and delete the cookies from your computer because it can store your passwords and give it to third persons.

Doing this can somehow manage you to stay away from hacker and stay away from these type of things.
