Chances of Being Hacked!

clookid · 03-23-2007

Hey everyone,

I hear many people complaining about being hacked! Basically, you have a one in a million chance of being "hacked."

The only real way that you'll ever be "hacked" is if you decide to share your password with someone or if they are using a password generator which I doubt would even exist for Paypal.

Kind regards,

Yeah right. Why would I share my password to anyone? I guess this is the most ridiculous thing to do.

It is quite alarming to hear that password generators can also be used for paypal and other payment processors.

i think nobody is fool here to share his/her password with anyone, and noone uses a password generator too, becauseit always show random password so everytime you ahve different password which makes the person to remember the password of each and every forum he logins or uses, its better to have a three or four password overall

never say nobody is a fool lol, people believe scam emails almost everyday, they go to "verifiy" their accounts, give in the username and password and the next day, all their money is gone or account is closed.

Trust me! There are some people foolish enough to do it, they could give a password to a forum and end up finding their paypal cash gone because of the password was the same. Anything could happen!

Well, if they are foolish enough to share their passwords with strangers, they should definitely learn their lesson. Scams will definitely be lessen if people's ignorance about it will be demolished.

If you keep on showing your passwords in forums and sharing them with your friends, those a million in one chances of you being hacked gets to a ten in one chance of being hacked.

Always keep your passwords, those are for security means and is not meant to be shared to the world.

But i have heard of cases where ids were hacked and people were robbed without their passwords slips. Is it possible that if you have an email id of someone you can apply password generators?

There are so many spam emails going out there that seem to be exactly like paypal's stuff to get peoples id's as long as you have some common knowledge you will be ok.

The buyer should always beware about the phishing of personal information and the session hijacking if he is operating from a public place of internet access.
