I am not sure if u can probably call it the new way of hacking but yet i cant think of any other cool title. Before continuing i would just like to tell you all about some basic hacking. There are many ways on hacking mail accounts which are named as Phishing, Pharming, Vishihng , SMShing etc,.
In phishing you send a fake page asking the victim some of their personal information and process it by sending a mail as sent by their service provider or something related. But recently many mail service providers like Gmail, yahoo and etc have added word filters or something like that which will detect your mail if it is a hack and warn the victim.
But, Recently hackers are out with a new trick on which their filters won't work. It's just instead of a mail they have started using a image or pdf file which performs the hack, clever huh?. Even after this too some victim's take a look at the URL, which doesnt sink up with the mail sent. so they turn conny and ignore it. This was found long back but thou' i want to tell you guys, I used to use elaborate link, confuses them. What I try to tell you that instead of your usual Phishing link like www.examplehack.com, you use www.examplehack.com/dingdong.php/gmailaccounts.html/watever.php which sort of confuse the victims. I'm not asking you to use the same, it's just an example. Hope you know it.
Key Recap:
- Elaborate and confusing URL
- Phisher through Image or PDF file
P.S.:-How to prevent a phishing attack:
Make sure that before you get any mails from any service providers asking you to enter some of your pivate/ personal informations. Stop there and check the Link. [for victims]
