10 Hacking Tactics Hackers Us To Steal Your Data:
10. Keylogging is a type of surveillance spyware that records keystrokes off your computer, like email information, password information, or anything you type in on your computer. For example, if you use your social security number or your bank account number, keylogging will capture that information.
9. Denial of Service (DoS\DDoS) is a way that hackers can use any devices connected to the internet and program it to send phony requests to a website or anything with an IP address to use up resources and take down the system by using up all of its resources. For example, security cameras have been used to carry out DDOS attacks. Once the system becomes overwhelmed by getting fake traffic from multiple sources. It has to be taken offline. You will hear teams like botnets, also called zombie computers which are systems that are taken over, sometimes unknowingly, by a hacker.
8. Waterhole attacks are when hackers take advantage of the fact that their targeted victims often meet or work at a particular physical or virtual location. So they “poison” that location to achieve malicious objectives. Fake WiFi is used in such attacks. Hackers set up fake open WiFi access points that can be enticing to someone looking for a hot spot. By setting up a fake WAP (Wireless Access Point), fake system hackers can sniff unprotected data that is transferred between the victims and their remote hosts/websites to get your login and password.
7. Eavesdropping (Passive Attacks) is when hackers use network tools known as sniffers to monitor a network to capture the information they can use to steal information of companies or individuals. The point isn’t to cause damage to computers but to harvest information as its transmitted. It is also known as sniffing or snooping.
6. Phishing hackers send an electronic/email message to an unsuspecting user under the impression that the message is from a trusted institution. This could be a link that asks you to click or an email that seems to come from a trusted company asking you to log in to your account. The user is fooled into believing it’s from a legitimate company hence giving that fake company the information to log in to an account or a network.
5. Viruses (Active Attacks) Active attacks, such as viruses and Trojans, are techniques where a hacker manipulates or deletes data to create a desired result. And a Trojan is simply a computer program that fools the user into thinking it’s another kind of program and, once installed, releases the malicious code.
4. Hackers are now attacking home and business routers more than ever. Because most people set up their router and forget it. They leave their routers open to hackers on the internet who will run pings to discover new routers. Consumers and business owners, most of the time, never go back and update the firmware, change the default passwords, turn off access from WAN or turn off open ports. These are ways hackers use to gain access to your system to steal personal information.
3. Click-Jacking Attacks are also called UI Re-direct attacks. This is when a hacker has gained access to your computer and set up a proxy that sends you to a website you had no intention of going to. Most of the time, this will cause your computer to process tasks exceptionally slowly.
2. Bait and switch. Bait and switch hacking involves running malicious content though the user believes he is running something standard. Hackers create “free” content that can be downloaded and used by anyone. But later replaces the link that the victim looked at initially with a malicious link.
1. Software exploits when a smart device firmware becomes out of date and an exploit is found, but that firmware is never updated. Hackers can use this exploit to gain access to your system. This can happen with routers, smart TVs, computers, or any firmware devices.
