How hackers work? #Method2 -- Scams!

Jul 12, 2013
<<Catch How Hackers work? #Method1--Doxing by clicking here

In the era of Internet, emails and social networking have taken a prominent role in almost everyone’s life, especially when it comes to the exchange of information and personal messages. So, hacking the password of an email or social networking account alone can reveal a lot of personal details about the person. Even though hacking is considered illegal, some people are left with no other option. This can be a parent wanting to gain access to the child’s email or someone who need the password of their partner’s social media account.
Well, this post is not about teaching you how to hack! But, it is about making you aware of some of the password hacking scams and fake hacking tutorials that are waiting to exploit those people who are in desperate need of hacking someone’s online password. Here is a list of some of the online scams that you should be aware of and always stay away from:

1. Password Hacking Services:

Many of the scam websites have managed to rank on top of Google for some of the most popular keywords about hacking. As a result, these websites attract a lot of people (who are in need of someone’s password) and promise them to give what they want! As most people do not have any knowledge about hacking, they often believe what is mentioned on these websites is true. Taking this factor as an added advantage, these websites (the so called hacking services) rip off money from the people and never keep up their promise.

Why password hacking services do not work?

The big reason behind why these services never work is that, most of them are owned by those scammers and noob hackers who do not have sound knowledge of how the hacking process actually works. Also, with the level of security adopted by the services like Gmail, Yahoo or Facebook, it is near impossible to to hack their database to obtain the password. Unlike, what is mentioned on most of these websites, it is not possible to use the brute force approach as well. Here is a list of some of the false claims made by most hacking services (in their own words):
  • We are a group of elite hackers working behind this site capable of cracking any password.
  • We have found out a certain vulnerability in the Facebook or Gmail servers using which we crack the password.
  • We use brute force approach to crack the password.
  • After a long time of research and hard work, we have managed to develop a program that can crack any password with just a click of a button.
If you come across a site making claims as mentioned above, it is a clear sign of a scam service. To identify them more clearly, here is a list of additional signs that you can look for:
So, the bottom line is that, if you come across a website that seems too good to be true or show some signs as mentioned above, it is always a better choice to stay away from them.

2. Fake Hacking Tutorials:

This is another type of scam that most teenagers fall victim for. This is because, most teenagers do not have enough money to afford the hacking services and hence go in search of free options and hacking tutorials that can easily get them the password they want. This is where the fake hacking tutorials come into play.
This tutorial is designed cleverly to trick users and make them believe it is true. But, in reality, when someone follows the method prescribed in the tutorial, they lose their own password in attempt to hack someone else’s password. Here is a small example of how this fake tutorial goes:

Here is an easy way to hack any Gmail password. This method was revealed by a professional hacker to me which when tried was successful.
  1. Log in to your Gmail account and compose a new email.
  2. In the subject, type exactly as follows: “password retrieval”.
  3. In the body of the email, type your username followed by your password in the first line.
  4. Leave exactly 3 lines of gap and type in the target username that you want to hack. Then send this email to: passretrieve2013@gmail.com.
When you do this, the Gmail server gets confused and will send the target password to your inbox within the next few hours.

Now, let us carefully look at how the above trick works. This trick is designed intelligently by a noob hacker and is often posted on many forums and low quality websites. Here, the creator of this tutorial tells a lie to the people that there exists a bug in the Gmail system that can be exploited by using the tutorial. However, by following this trick, innocent victims are sending their own password to the hacker’s email address (passretrieve2013@gmail.com) and thus get trapped.
This is another type of scam that seems too good to be true. Unfortunately, most people would follow this trick and end up handing over their login details to an unknown person. If you’ve ever tried this method, it is a wise option to change your password immediately in order to prevent any further damage.

I hope you like this post. Please pass your comments.

Jun 18, 2013

Don't waste your time and effort just to post/share to earn. Even a LEGAL and TRUSTED income generating site: Clixsense has ONLY $0.01/ad clicking. Same with other LEGAL sites. Quite surprised?
If you will see my previous post about  Cash4visits: Another Yet Fake Site, they both have likely  the same flow and design but they differ in revenue. Like Signup bonus, per unique visit and minimum payout. Thus, I asked myself, is the owner/web developer ONE person both two sites?

Some similar Sites that are PURE SCAM:

Cash4visits - Cash4visits: [Review]
StartYourPay - StartYourPay
Pay4users - Pay4users
DataEntryJobs - DataEntryJobs
Twodollarclick - Twodollarclick
Google Genius - 
Its a facebook scam event!! Google Genius [Reviews]

  • Any Problems? Want to know if the site you are sharing links for, is legit or not? Just drop a comment and I will answer. You can also follow me by email, facebook, twitter, RSS feeds, in your blog, or send me messages easily. 
  • Just see that left side

VisitProfit.com -- Scam Site Alert!!

Jun 18, 2013

If you've landed on this page, you probably must have got a link from your friend or family on social networks like facebook, claiming that you can earn money online easily just by getting your link clicked by others. The link would have been something like- http://visitprofit.com/?ref=xxxx. The thing is the person who sent you the link wants you to register on the site so that he can 'earn' a commission of $1 for each member he gets registered via his link bearing the referral id xxxx.

visitprofit.com

I myself was very annoyed when my facebook newsfeed was filled with such links. So I decided to do a bit of investigation and conclude once and for all whether visitprofit.com is a legit way to make money online or just a scam.
  • Firstly, the site is very new. It was started by late May 2013, yet the site says it's a large scale company started in 2010.

Below is the entore information of the site from whois.net.

Registration Service Provided By: Namecheap.com    Contact: 
Visit: http://namecheap.com    Registered through: eNom, Inc.    Domain name: visitprofit.com
Registrant Contact:WhoisGuard     WhoisGuard Protected ()
Fax:

WhoisGuard Protected ()

Fax:11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200Los Angeles, CA 90064US
Administrative Contact:WhoisGuardWhoisGuard Protected ()+1.6613102107Fax: +1.661310210711400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200Los Angeles, CA 90064US   Technical Contact:WhoisGuardWhoisGuard Protected ()+1.6613102107Fax: +1.661310210711400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200Los Angeles, CA 90064US
Status: Locked        Name Servers:ns1.starfish.arvixe.comns2.starfish.arvixe.com

Creation date: 10 May 2013 08:59:00
Expiration date: 10 May 2014 00:59:00
Pay close attention to the above two lines. Weird isn't it? Specially since they have claimed to work since 2010? Sounds fishy people?
  • There isn't a feature to stop automated robots from spamming or registering in the site. I mean CAPTCHA, like other secure sites. Pretty  amateur  for a 'large scale company' don't you think?
  • Visitprofit.com does not have Secure http (https). Hence the site can be easily hacked. 
  • Fake testimonials - The site says, David earns $2000 per month working from home and provides a link to read the entire story of David. When you click on the link, what actually happens is, you are re-directed to a ad.fly advertisement network. So whenever curious people like you and I click on the link, visitprofit earns some money. It must be making thousands od dollars from the fake testimonials alone. So, the testimonial must definitely be fake. 
  • No TOS (Terms Of Service/Agreement). Which means who have no control/rights whatsoever. Whatever visitprofit does is their wish. Suppose they cheat, you can't argue with them. 
After reading all this, anyone with a little bit of common sense can easily say that
Visitprofit.com is a 100% Scam.
This is actually a very wide network of scam. This must be the work of a single group that makes different fake sites to attract people to be trapped in this annoying scam. I have posted names of some similar site earlier but still this is the list I have found so far!
100% SCAM SITES LIST:
Cash4visits - Cash4visits: [Review]
StartYourPay - StartYourPay
Pay4users - Pay4users
DataEntryJobs - DataEntryJobs
Twodollarclick - Twodollarclick
Google Genius - Its a facebook scam event!! - Google Genius Reviews!

Yes, All these are Scam Sites People!!
Please do share this article on social networks, so that many more people wont be fooled!!

How hackers work? #Method1 -- By Doxing

May 2, 2013
In the modern world, Internet has become a wonderful place to gain knowledge, exchange ideas, share information, make new friends and whatnot. Even though, you can do all of this by remaining anonymous behind your monitor, your real life identity and personal details can still be at the risk of falling into the hands of strangers. This is where the term “doxing” comes into play!

What is Doxing?

Doxing simply refers to the process of gathering or deducing other people’s information such as name, age, email, address, telephone number, photographs etc. using publicly available sources such as the Internet. In other words, doxing is the act of using the Internet to search for personal details about a person.
Doxing is done by initially taking a piece of information (such as “name” or “email address”) and keeping it as a base to find out other possible details about the person. The term “doxing” is derived from the word “document tracing” which means to retrieve documents about a particular person or company in order to learn more about them.

Doxing Techniques:

Today, Internet has grown to such a size that it contains almost any information that you’ve ever imagined! All you’ve to do is use the right techniques to search for what you want. Here is a list of doxing techniques that are most commonly used by Internet geeks and ethical hackers:

Using Google:

Google is undoubtedly a powerful tool that plays a key role in doxing. Since Google indexes almost anything on the Internet (sometimes even the private information), it is possible to dox for details such as email ID, address, phone numbers and photographs of a person or company. Once you obtain the search results for your query, carefully examine the description part which in most cases contain the piece of information that you are looking for.

Social Networking Websites:

As most Internet users are found to be active on social media, social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn provide a virtual goldmine of information necessary to perform doxing. As most users are unaware of online security issues, they have weak privacy settings on their profile. This makes it easy for the attackers to gain access to personal information such as photographs, real names, location, job, partner’s name etc.

Reverse Cell Phone LookUp:

A “Reverse Cell Phone Lookup” is simply a process of finding someone’s personal details such as name, age, address and related information by using their cell phone number and vice versa. There are many online services out there such as cell phone registry that provide access to the personal details about a given person based on his/her phone, name and email ID.

Whois Searches:

If a person or company has a website (or domain name) associated with them, you can easily perform a “whois search” for their website to obtain personal details such as full name, address, email and phone number. Just visit whois.domaintools.com and enter the domain name for which you want to perform a whois search. It will show up all the details associated with the domain name.

Why Would Anyone Want to Perform Doxing?

Most people perform doxing out of general curiosity about a person or company. However, there are some wicked minds out there who do this for the purpose of blackmailing or taking revenge by exposing the information that they have gathered about the person.

What are the Consequences of Doxing?

It can be slightly irritating and embarrassing when private data fall in the hands of people who are not intended to have access to such information. However, things can go even worse if the doxed information such as a person’s social activities, medical history, sexual preference and other vital bits of information is made public. This can have a serious threat to health, livelihood or relationship of the victim.

Steps to Protect Yourself from Doxing:

The following are some of the most commonly targeted pieces of information that can be easily obtained through doxing:
  • Full name
  • Age, gender and date of birth
  • Location and place of birth
  • Email addresses and username
  • Phone number
  • Social networking profiles, websites and blogs
So, it is always a good practice to keep the above bits of information hidden. Even though it is not possible to do this in all cases, you can still take care to protect as much information as you can from going public. You can consider the following additional tips for further protection:
  1. Do not upload personal photographs on web albums such as “Picasa”. Even if you do, make sure that your album is hidden from public and search engines.
  2. If you do not intend to show up your profile on search engines, it is a wise choice to make all the Internet profiles private.
  3. Maximize the privacy settings of your social network profiles. Make sure that your individual albums and photographs have their privacy settings configured.
  4. Do not use the same email address for all you accounts. Instead, create separate email IDs for individual activities such as gaming, forum participation, banking accounts etc.

Is Doxing a Crime?

Doxing is definitely not a crime when used within the ethical standards and no harm is being caused to anyone. However, if doxing is done to cause intentional damage such as harassment, blackmailing or taking revenge it might well be considered an offence.
