Simple tips to safely login to any email or online banking website


These days almost everybody is using internet and the danger of being hacked is very high. Some simple tips if we keep in mind then we can surf the internet very safely. Hackers manipulates us to be trapped by them so they can theft our data by getting our login details. There are several ways to do that by using keyloggers, trojans, remote logins, social engineering etc. But most popular and easy way is phishing which is basically effortless and there is no need of physical access to the victims computers. Hackers attracts the victims by giving some links to the victim and force the mind of the victim to open that link.


.

 For example the link telling to open facebook to earn $1000 monthly this thing will attract almost everybody. everybody will click on the link given by the hacker and nobody will check the url of website which could look like the website above.
Everybody will enter username and password in excitement and the details will be emailed to the hacker. Because this page looks like facebook.com means its actually a page of facebook.com but the coding of its login button has been changed by the hacker and the page is also been saved on some other web hosting server. Now the url of the website is www.faccbook.com and it is starting with http instead of https. Nobody bothers to see the url because we can see a big facebook logo in front of us and everything looks original. But the page if Phished Page. bcause the coding has been changed and the login information will be transferred to the hacker and after pressing login button you will see original facebook page and u will think that u mistyped thats why the same page came again. in that surprising moment Hacker took advantage by redirecting you to original webpage of facebook and in the mean time of just 1-2 seconds he got your username and password. Simple 4-5 lines code PHP Scripting Code can change the Action Button coding of Login Button which we use to login to any website.(which you can find on google for practice purpose).
