How to Prevent The Hacking and Other Reminders

Right after recovering my account, I went for a 80 characters password, with more than 30 symbols in it, then printed it along with the password for my secondary email, which is also a solid one. After that, I installed another anti-virus and a spyware, I have chosen something from the Google Pack, namely avast! as I already have Super Anti Spyware. Then I went to see the gmail page details to see from where the jerk attacked and saw his IP and found his exact geographicallocation , but even if he’d managed to make some harm, I wouldn’t have known what to do against it,since an IP adresss is not a person . I know I may sound like a broken record, but always check for viruses and malware , at least once per week, make sure to update your security tools and also the operating system . You should be careful about your browser as well, check for third-party applications and always download the latest version; Chrome or Firefox are secure browser, albeit Internet Explorer 9 has scored some nice security results as well. Always check the attachments and don’t forget to back-up your mail. Don’t read spam mails and whenever a spam hits your inbox, remember to mark it as spam so it will not annoy you anymore. Also, don’t repeat the error of not logging out. But, the biggest mistake of them all isto believe that it can’t happen to you. It can and it will eventually if you’re not going to be extra careful about it.

What to do if you have been hacked by hacker. . .

Luckily for me, I was near mycomputer at an early hour, which makes me suspect that the hacker was watching closely my activity as he struck when I wasn’t expecting it – during the night. Obviously, I tried inserting my long password five times in a row, then even restarted my computer.After that, I cleared the web history and the cache . I suggest that you don’t repeat my errors as this gives time for the hacker to make all the changes inside your mail settings so that he could restrict you from recovering your account. Actimmediately, don’t wait. You should remember some email contacts with whom you’re exchanging emails quite often. Also, if you don’t have labels , then create some as in the recovery process the support team will ask you this. In my case, the hacker was pretty clever and he changedthe security question, the secondary email and even the phone number. I was quick to react and have chosen the “I no longer haveaccess to these” option. After that, you will find a pretty detailed form where you will be asked about labels, email contacts and Google services that you use.You should indicate the approximate dates. The Google support team answer arrived in less than 10 minutes and this saved my ass. I quickly recovered my email account and sighed.

How to secure your online accounts from hackers by HiT-H3x0r

The Basics of Your online Account Security. . . First of all, you need to set up a strong password , and by strong I mean using not only letters and numbers butalso symbols like these “*, /,#, ^, &, -. +” and make it quite long, I’d go for a minimum of 30 characters. After that, save your password somewhere in your computer in a .txt file , but don’t name it “password” or something relevant. If you’re afraid that your own computer could get hacked, then print your password and keep that small sheet in your wallet. Also, if you are not sure what "anti-virus" or "spyware software" to use, download the Google Pack and choose from there. It’s not wise to have multiple anti-virus software installed, so pick one and you’re set up. If you are still unsure, you can choose one of these free antivirus software .

Just make sure to have its logins also printed on that important piece of paper
