Being Hacked

There has been a lot of talk about hack attacks and the fact that they are happening more often. Hackers are getting quite good at what they do and finding new ways to gain access to things, so how do you know if your computer is already hacked? Well there are two ways to find out. One way is to use software that will show you all of your accounts and any recent activity from the hackers, which will include email conversations and FTP information.

The other way is to check your bank accounts and see if any of your personal financial information has been compromised or is being hacked into. Hackers may have accessed your social security number, your PIN numbers or even bank account numbers. The best way to protect yourself from being hacked is by not putting any of your personal financial information on the internet. You need to be very careful of who you give your personal information to online. Hackers may use this information to open up new accounts in your name and drain your bank account.

Once a hacker has your personal information, they can go on to use it to obtain new items and services. For example if they had hacked into your social security number they could make charges through credit cards, take out loans in your name and empty your bank account. Another common thing hackers may do is use your online accounts to create new online accounts in your name and drain your bank accounts. It’s important to keep away from these hackers and to be aware of them online because this could be your chance to prevent any further damage.
