How hackers snoop on private browsing

Experts have identified how their web browser's 'private mode' setting is also vulnerable to hackers. Most web browsers offer a private mode, intended to leave no trace of surfing history on the computer. Even if private browsing is enabled, details relating to the key remain stored on the computer's hard drive, allowing a hacker to establish that a particular site had been visited.



A hacker could "guess what sites you've been to based on traces left behind," New Scientist quoted Jackson as saying.

These attacks on privacy "do not require a great deal of technical sophistication and could easily be built into forensics tools," he added.

However, Rik Ferguson  -- a UK-based security researcher at Trend Micro of Tokyo, Japan -- says that any attacker with the knowledge to exploit the weaknesses would probably look to other attacks first, which may yield more detailed information.

"If someone is capable of tracking your browsing habits in this way, then they are probably also tech-savvy enough to know about commercial spyware which could much more effectively track your computer use," says Ferguson.

Trojan hacks 3,000 bank accounts

Computer hackers have stolen at least 675,000 pounds from thousands of bank accounts in Britain  using a malicious software, which expert believe the most dangerous virus ever created. About 3,000 online Banking customers have been victims of a computer virus attack that empties their accounts while showing them fake statements so the crime goes undetected. 

                                                                                                  




Experts have described the attack using a "trojan" virus as the most sophisticated and dangerous malware programme ever created, Daily Mail reported. The cyber crimnals stole an estimated 675,000 pounds between July 5 and August 4 and the attack is still progressing, experts warn. 

The latest virus is a variant of the Zeus trojan banking virus which first emerged three years ago and is called Zeus v3. M86 Security said, "We've never seen such a sophisticated and dangerous threat. Always check your balance and have a good idea of what it is." The scam was discovered after M86 gained access to the command-and-control server in Eastern Europe  running the thefts.
 
It collects data such as passwords and even transfers money out of accounts automatically, but only after checking if there is at least 800 pound available. Bradley Anstis, M86 vice-president of technology strategy, said, "This is an extremely sophisticated version of the virus and it cannot be detected by traditional security software." 
                                 The company said it was the most-sophisticated and dangerous virus yet seen and advised online banking users to check their balances regularly and have a good idea of what it should be. British high street banks do not believe they have become victims of the cyber criminals. 
                                                                                                                          A spokesman for HSBC said, "There are millions of viruses and other malicious software. We urge people to take basic measure to protect themselves from virus attacks. Any customer who is a victim of fraud will be reimbursed by HSBC." However, M86 said it believed one high street bank was breached and failed to act quickly after warnings last month. More than 100,000 personal computers in Britain have been infected with other forms of the trojan virus.

How to Recover Hacked Email Accounts?

It can be a real nightmare if someone hacks and takes control of your email account as it may contain confidential information like bank logins, credit card details and other sensitive data. If you are one such Internet user whose email account has been compromised, then this post will surely help you out. In this post you will find the possible ways and procedures to get back your hacked email account.

For Gmail:

It can be a big disaster if your Gmail account has been compromised as it may be associated with several services like Blogger, Analytics, Adwords, Adsense, Orkut etc. Losing access to your Gmail account means losing access to all the services associated it with too. Here is a list of possible recovery actions that you can try.

Step -1: Try resetting your password since it is the easiest way to get your account back in action. In this process Google may ask you to answer the secret question or may send the password reset details to the secondary email address associated with your compromised account. You can reset you password from the following link

Gmail Password Reset Link

If you cannot find success from the Step-1 then proceed to Step-2.

Step-2: Many times the hacker will change the secret question and secondary email address right after the account is compromised. This is the reason for the Password Reset process to fail. If this is the case then you need to contact the Gmail support team by filling out the account recovery form. This form will ask you to fill out several questions like

1. Email addresses of up to five frequently emailed contacts
2. Names of any 4 Labels that you may have created in your account
3. List of other services associated with your compromised account
4. Your last successful login date
5. Account created date
6. Last password that you remember and many more…

You need to fill out this form as much accurately as possible. It is obvious to forget the dates of last login, account creation and similar terms. However you need to figure out the closest possible date/answers and fill out this form. This is your last chance! The more accurate the information filled out in the recovery form, the more the chances of getting your account back. You may reach the account recovery page form the following link

Account Recovery Form

For Yahoo and Hotmail:

Unfortunately for Yahoo/Hotmail there is no second option like filling out the form or contacting the support team. All you need to do is either answer the secret questions that you have setup or reset the password using the secondary email option. 

To initiate the password reset process just click on the Forgot password link in your login page and proceed as per the screen instructions.

How to Hack an Email Account

The most frequent question asked by many people especially in a chat room is How to Hack an Email Account? So you as the reader are most likely reading this because you want to hack into some one’s email account. Most of the sites on the internet teach you some nonsense and outdated tricks to hack an email. But here are some of the real and working ways that can be used to hack an email account.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE PROCEEDING

Before you learn the real ways to hack an email, the following are the things you should be aware of.

1. There is no ready made software that can hack emails just with a click of a button. Please don’t waste your money on such scam softwares.

2. Never trust any hacking services that claims to hack email passwords just for $100 or $200. Often people get fooled by these services and eventually loose their money with no gain.

3. With my experience in the field of Hacking and Security, I can tell you that there exists only 2 foolproof methods to hack an email. All the other methods are simply scam or don’t work. The following are the only 2 foolproof methods that work.

1. EASIEST WAY TO HACK AN EMAIL ACCOUNT

Today, with the advent of a program called Keylogger it’s just a cakewalk to hack an email account. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer. Using a keylogger is the easiest way to hack an email account. Any one with a basic knowledge of computer can use the keylogger and within few hours you can hack any email account.

1. What is a keylogger?

A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. Using a keylogger is the easiest way to hack an email account. A keylogger program can be installed just in a few seconds and once installed you are only a step away from getting the victim’s password.

2. Where is the keylogger program available?

A keylogger program is widely available on the internet. Some of the best ones are listed below

SniperSpy

Win-Spy

3. How to install it?

You can install these keyloggers just as any other program but these things you must keep in mind. While installing, it asks you to set a secret password and a hot key combination. This is because, after installation the keylogger program is completely hidden and the victim can no way identify it. So, you need the Hot Key combination and secret password to later unhide the keylogger.

4. Once installed how to get password from it?

The hacker can open the keylogger program by just pressing the hot keys (which is set during installation) and enter the password. Now it shows the logs containing every keystroke of the user,where it was pressed, at what time, including screenshots of the activities. These logs contain the password of the victim’s email account.

5. I don’t have physical access to the victim’s target computer, what can I do?

It doesn’t matter whether or not you have physical access to the victim’s computer. Because keyloggers like SniperSpy and Win-Spy offers Remote Installation Feature. With this feature it is possible to remotely install the keylogger on the victim’s PC.

You can attach the keylogger with any file such as image, MS excel file or other programs and send it to the victim via email. When the victim runs the file, it will automatically get installed without his knowledge and start recording every activity on his computer. These activities are sent to you by the keylogger software via email or FTP.

6. What is the best way to deploy the keylogger onto remote PC?

Instead of sending the keylogger as an email attachment, it is recommended that you place the file in .ZIP/.RAR format and upload it to www.hotlinkfiles.com. After uploading, just send the direct download link to the victim via email. Once he downloads the file from this link and run it, the keylogger will get installed automatically.

7. How can a keylogger hack the Email password?

Hacking an email password using keylogger is as simple as this: You install the keylogger on a Remote PC (or on your local PC). The victim is unaware of the presence of the keylogger on his computer. As usual, he logs into his Email account by typing the username and password. This username and password is recorded and sent to you via Email. Now you have the password of your target email account.

In case if you install the keylogger on your local PC, you can obtain the recorded email password just by unhiding the keylogger program (use your hot key and password to unhide).

8. Which Keylogger is the best?

I recommend SniperSpy as the best for the following reasons.

1. SniperSpy is fully compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista. But Winspy has known compatible issues with Vista. So if your PC or the remote PC runs Vista then Winspy is not recommended.

2. SniperSpy is more reliable than Win-Spy since the logs sent will be received and hosted by SniperSpy servers. You need not rely on your email account to receive the logs.

3. Unlike Winspy, Sniperspy doesn’t require anything to be installed on your computer. To monitor the remote PC all you have to do is just login to your SniperSpy account from your browser.

4. SniperSpy is more easy to use and faster than Winspy.

5. SniperSpy offers better support than WinSpy.

Apart from the above mentioned reasons, both SniperSpy and WinSpy stands head-to-head. However in my opinion it’s better to go for SniperSpy since it is the best one. I have tested tons of keyloggers and the only two that stood up were SniperSpy and Winspy.

So what are you waiting for? If you’re serious to hack an email account then go grab either of the two keyloggers now!

For more information on these two softwares visit the following links

1. SniperSpy 2. WinSpy

2. OTHER WAYS TO HACK AN EMAIL ACCOUNT

The other most commonly used trick to sniff password is using Fake Login Pages. Today, Fake login pages are the most widely used techniques to hack an email account. A Fake Login page is a page that appears exactly as a Login page but once we enter our password there, we end up loosing it.

Fake login pages are created by many hackers on their sites which appear exactly as Gmail or Yahoo login pages but the entered details(username & pw) are redirected to remote server and we get redirected to some other page. Many times we ignore this but finally we loose our valuable data.

However creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack an email account is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc.

I hope this info has helped you. Happy Email Hacking!
