Hackers

More and more are victimized by hackers these days.  Probably because more people are accessing the internet via internet cafes.  And of course, there is big tendency that people forget to log-out, well after clicking on "remember me".  So obviously the next user is free to just hack.  Puwede rin naman dun sa nanghihiraman ng phone o tablet.  After mong magamit, sinigurado mo bang nag-log-out ka at tinanggal ang access mo?

So sino ba ang may kasalanan sa ganitong scenario?  Ang hacker ba? for being very mischeivous.  Di naman kanya ang account nakikigamit.  wala na ba siyang ibang magawa?  wala na ba siyang ibang source of happiness than stealing the identity of someone else? 

Or the hacked?  Alam mo na naman na puwede kang  ma-hack, di pa nag-ingat.  I guess if you experience this you will remember that this could be embarasssing and in some cases very disturbing.

So how do you avoid hacking? Here are some tips to avoid being hacked.

#1) If you have to access your accounts (email, fb, or twitter etc) from a public internet cafe, Never click "remember me".  If it is clicked unclicked.  What do you lose?  the short amount of time you spent re-typing your id and password.  Which is not bad.

#2) Log-out.  Even if you are in a hurry, remember to log-out. 

#3) Delete the cache.  Go to Internet Options.  Click on Delete History, then click on all.  This will delete your cache, cookies, forms, password entered, even the history.  So lahat ng inaccess mo mawawala na.  I'm not sure bakit gusto mong makita pa lahat ng tao ang pinutahan mong sites.  If you surfed the internet for 1 hour, this will take 10 seconds.  So sulit ang investment.

Remember, there are professional hackers.  They do this for a living.  So be very careful.
