Safety from Hacking Attacks

If hacker wants to hack your account he/she will use a software.

If password is not strong than hacker will hack your personal information. In this post I am going to describe some of the ways in which hacker can steal our personal information from our careless use of social networking sites.

On Instagram or Facebook or YouTube and other such sites,

A hacker can hack your user name or location using a software to hack into your Instagram account. Therefore it is important to keep your password safe and changing it regularly.

It is possible to use online safety measures provided by social networking sites too. One can change the settings and can make arrangements for a SMS being sent to you to inform if anyone tries to logging from a new location or a new device into your account.

Google these days offers an option where you get SMS of a OTP (One Time Password) security code on your registered mobile number. Without entering this code no one can log in in to your account.

It is wise to use adequate safety measures while we want to enjoy out online and offline life.
