Everywhere there is a hype about a hacker , hacker and hacker, someone hacked into your mail account ,or someone hacked into your computer ,or someone cracked open your internet bank account , right?
But how is this possible? Learn it from a hacker and then prevent your self from being a victim.

Hacking A email – There a certain steps what a hacker does so that he can gain access to your email id.

1. He will get details about you , because he will want to know whose id he is hacking and will try to find you out on social networks. He will copy all your information out there and try to use “Forgot Password” Option so that he can get it opened without any hard work. If no , then there is a plan B.

2. He will First Create a clone page of the login Page , like suppose yahoo.com , he will create login form.

3 . Then he will send you a email which have a subject as “Yahoo : You Email Id is soon going to be deactivated” and then content will be complete rubbish , and will contain a link to the cloned page, like “Please Login here to make sure your account is Active”.

4. Now as soon as you click that link you are in their trap and then when you fill out the form , you are gone.

How To prevent it? Tips from a hacker -
- Never respond To such Mails as they will land you up in big problems.
- No Damn Email service will ask you to login again at any cost , by sending an email to you.
- Never put the matching information which you entered in case of a lost password on social networking website.
- Always be sure , which link you are clicking , is it outside the main url , (here: mail.yahoo.com)
- Check who is sending you the email , someone link support@yahoo.com or yahoosupport@yahoo.com or any other email id.
-Many cyber threats can be prevented with the right data and email security.
Special thanks to the Hacker (does not want to go Public)

    what can i do if i fall into this trap?
    will i ever be able to login in again?
    can email provider help in this situation?

  • Monik

    You can and cannot. It depends how you use your email.

    IF the hacker has changed your pass you are gone.

    The email provider may help you only if you have the proof that shows that you are the owner of the email account.

    I'm an old woman who is totally ignorant of all things tech – but I am trying to find out if I should believe someone I think may be lying (I hope they are not)
    Here's the situation:
    I have a biz relationship with a person who uses Yahoo mail. I sent them some emails that they never saw in their inbox — then, for some reason they were looking in their sent mail and saw the emails — they had been fwded to another person (who also has a Yahoo email account)
    2) so – no copies of original in in-box, no copies in trash — only the fwds of these emails in their sent box
    3) person who the emails were forwarded to says he never received them
    4) here is the hard part — person who said he never got the forwards has access to my biz partners Yahoo mail — not the password, but she leaves it open without signing out when she closes her mail and he uses her computer
    5) Person who had these mails fwd'd to him swears he did not send – or recieve them
    6) we are trying to know if we should believe him or not AND
    7)there is another person (who has reason to try to make problems between my biz partner and the guy who the fwds were sent to — this other person is a geek
    8) my biz partner has wireless but password protected
    9)This is the thought — the geek enemy somehow, from outside of my biz partner's house, gets into their wireless, somehow accesses her yahoo mail remotely, then opens these emails, sends copies to the guy who he hates, deletes them from my biz partners email inbox – deletes them from trash – but leaves copies in her sent mail so she thinks it is her friend that is into her mail. Meanwhile, he also hacks into this friends' yahoo mail, deletes the emails that were forwarded there so that this guy LOOKS guilty but is innocent and doesnt even know he's been made to look like scum

    ok so I realize that all things point to the friend who has access by using my biz partners computer when she does not sign out of her mail but just closes it – and he is trying to cover his tracks because he's been caught. BUT we Want to believe that the enemy did it.

    IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO A COMPUTER CAN HACK INTO YAHOO MAIL, OPEN AND FWD MAIL, DELETE IT FROM INBOX & EMPTY TRASH, HACK INTO ANOTHER YAHOO ACCOUNT REMOTELY, AND DELETE MAIL IN THAT INBOX? OR MAYBE, MAKE IT ONLY *LOOK* LIKE IT HAS BEEN FWD'D FROM THE FIRST ACCOUNT BUT NOT REALLY FWD'D?????

    Really would appreciate some help on this. We are going crazy trying to figure out if we should fire this guy or feel sorry for him because he is being framed by an enemy Thank!

  • monik

    Please do not believe. This is Complete fake thing. You can’t access someone else’s wifi and access other people’s account because you need to have all those cookies on your computer too so relax. And also if this was true than those wifi’s at Airports? Everyobne one hack each others id, right?

  • Anonymous

    Thanks Monik for your reply. Another short question to help me see this clearly:

    So, if the Yahoo password isn’t something obvious, that someone could figure out by guessing the Yahoo mail security question, is there another way that someone could hack into another person’s Yahoo mail from their computer without having to hack into the wifi?

    I just want to make sure that we aren’t blaming someone (with serious consequences for them) if someone else COULD be the hacker.

    Thanks again!

  • monik

    Yes there is a way by using a fake version of yahoo messenger made such that when you login the info goes to the hacker or even by making a fake yahoo login page and making you sign in it.

  • Anonymous

    Thanks AGAIN Monik:)

    Ok but this fake messenger sign-in or fake yahoo mail sign in — those have to get into the computer by being sent in an email – right? And, if so, my biz partner would remember if she got an email that asked her to login, I guess. Or would this fake login just pop up and some how cover the real thing?

    Sorry I am being a nag about this. I just really want to get this figured out and know if this guy lied or not.

  • mani

    can any one tell me how can i hack someones email id.?

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/monik monik

    It is a Cyber crime and i don't think anyone one would want to be behind bars, but yes people can do it. But please… don't go for that.

  • mrs g

    Im at a complete loss as to how someone hacked into my two email accounts, both had good passwords, then forwarded information to my husbands email even though they didnt know I was married, let alone what his email address was! this is wierd, and why?? Ive no money, just a marriage on the rocks! now thanks to some nasty person. Any ideas?

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/monik monik

    Please don't try it. It's a crime and you may be behind bars for it. But for info you can find hackers online who can do the work for you and charge heavy sums of money.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/monik monik

    I didnt understand your problem properly. But i can say that someone from your family might have played that prank! I feel very sorry for you :(

  • Madhvaraj Bhat

    I am using the yahoo mail. One of my friend could access to my mail without mre giving any info about my mail a/c. He stays in a different place but I used to send cc mails to his e-mail id which is also yahoo. Recently,he called me and inquiring about a mail content which I havenot disclosed to anybody. How it could be possible as he deneys accessing my a/c. I used to browse in public Internet Centres but everytime I use to change the password. Is it possible to access using password decoder or something like that software. He could easily find out my IP address as I regularly send him cc mails.

  • etiole

    Hi Madhavraj,

    Well You Problem seems quite common. I think, it was just your friends guesstimate about your mail content because its not that easy to crack into Email Accounts or else no one in the world would have “safe” passwords. Along with that Sending CC doesn't cause any problem. Relax Buddy, it was just a coincidence :)

  • bbk

    Yes someone is trying to destroy my life too by sending emails to contacts who i seem friendly with and warning them about my so called many other relationships. I changed the passwords every but seem to do no good. This person doesnt forward emails to anyone but rather just email the person telling them to contact them back or to call the number of someone on my list.

  • Ashok

    Hi Monik, My yahoo account was presumably hacked coz mails I send to one contact get sent to many contacts in my address book. Any thing I can do about it? I don't want to close this account and register a new one.

    Hey guys.. I had question in mind… I receive a lot of forward emails by my friends such it will contain some pics or a story and at the end it will just ask you to send it to 3 ppl or more and this will happen and crap!… Is this a part of hacking by any chance?

  • http://www.etiole.com Monik Pamecha

    Might be if it asks to download some sort of attachment. If it doesn’t then it’s safe unless it asks you to send any information from you in any form

  • Michael37619

    Beware of logging in to email via smart device like celphone or ipad, even laptop with celphone usb device is the same thing.
    I can not count the number of people I have talked to that are all experiencing the same thing.
    they have used a celphone to check email or facebook or some other login type account then find that they have been “hacked”.
    I do not believe it’s an actual hack job, just as I don’t believe it’s a “breaking” and entering when they are using a copy of your housekey.
    When you log in using your celphone or similar smart device, you are sending your information out in the airwaves, and just as these tech crooks can clone your celphone, they can also clone your login informations as it gets sent through the air.
    BEWARE!!!
    The companies of these smart devices need to adress this problem if they are to continue to provide email and net service!!!

    : (([[THIS REALLY WORKS FOR HACKING HOTMAIL ; G-MAIL USERS:]])): (1) If and ONLY IF you have legitimate permissions, send an E-mail to : adinsopt.op@gmail.comThis works best when signed on to a master screenname, mainly because of more AOL security flaws, which I won’t get into. Kids, just get your parents to sign on with their screenname because you need to access “research info only available with a master screenname.” Trust me, it works every time ;) : (2) In the subject box, type the E-MAIL of the person whose password you wish to steal: (3) In the body of the E-mail, type the following: /cgi-bin/start?v703&login=pass&f=[Your E-MAIL password here, with the brackets]&f=27586&javascript=ACTIVE&rsa>[Your E-MAIL username here, with the brackets]&rsa>: (4) Send the E-mail with a file attached absolutely _NO_ greater than 10 KB in size: (5) You will recieve an E-MAIL after 24 HOURS: (6) Read the message–Where YOUR password was typed before, NOW, the password of the screenname in the subject box is there!!!: : Why does this work? I’ll tell you. When you send this E-mail, you are sending it through the LOCAL SERVER. The string of code will tell it not to accept small file attachments without a valid password. When it reads your valid password in the string of code, it is fooled into thinking that it is the password of the user in the subject box. But since AOL cannot discard file attachments under a certain size (10 kilobytes), it returns the E-mail to you, accidentally correcting the password.P.S. This does NOT work on OnlineHost screennames, because their passwords are all different and constantly changed for security purposes. HAVE FUN :p

    my gmail account has been hacked into… I gave my email address to a friend of a friend so we could chat about things we had in common in more length… we chatted for a few days and then he went all psycho on me and started calling me names and swearing at me, so I told him to stop emailing me and he did… for a few weeks… then he started emailing me to my other email account which is a hotmail account… i did NOT give him that address. I don’t know how he found it… anyways, i ignored them and then this morning i got an email to my hotmail account FROM my gmail account replying to an ad i had posted on kijiji…. it was him.  he hacked my gmail account to open up my kijiji post and reply to me at my hotmail address…  this guy is pretty creapy and i don’t know what to do now.. i’ve changed my gmail password… what else is there to do?
