Hacking is vast field and anything over internet or computer is never 100% hacked proof. I am giving some general tips to stay safe from being hacked for all users here.
Often hacking results in spoiling all the hard work of any user here.
There are 2 common hacking techniques used to hacking the passwords.
No.1 Phishing
Phishing is most common technique used to hack the username and password by making fake login page of website you use to login.
How the hacker do it:
In this technique the hacker make a login page of the website exactly same in look and feel and will mail, pm, or text you the link of that fake asking you to input your username and password to do something.
If you click on this link you will get a login page exactly same as you used to login in actual website. You will enter your username and password. That username and password will be mailed silently (at background) to the hacker. In this way you will lose your username and password without even knowing it.
How to avoid this:
1. Never click on any link from your mail or pm that ask for putting username and password for any reason.
2. Always see the URL address of the link very carefully whenever you click on any such link.
3. Always bookmark your favorite website (login page also) URL address and whenever you need to visit or access them, go either by clicking on it or type the URL yourself. Never trust any link sent in your mail box or private message box.
4. If you realize that you have been hacked, quickly change your password.
No. 2 Key logger
Key logger is malicious or malware program that silently installed on your system (computer, laptop, mobile tablet etc.), when you install any other software from untrusted websites.
How the hacker do it:
Once these key logger is installed on your computer it will keep sending all your activities (keypad typing etc.) silently in background to the hacker without knowing you.
How to avoid this:
1. Never download software, cracks serial keys from untrusted websites.
2. Always install antivirus in your system if you visit to or downloads from untrusted websites.
3. Keep checking your task manager for programs that running in background of your system.
