How do hackers use 'social engineering' to crack your passwords and other confidential information? What is 'social engineering'?
Social engineering is the method of taking user name, password, OTP, link or any information by tricking, tricking, luring or emotionally affecting someone. It can have different styles .
If you have to talk about someone else's house, it is done by showing his pain, or by cutting off the talk of a person you don't like, using such methods in the digital world is called 'social engineering'. The laptop you use in public places, your mobile phone is looked at behind your shoulder or from the side, so the information stealer is also social engineering . If you sit facing the wall and put the device on your lap, others will not be able to see it .
It is best not to conduct any banking transactions using public Wi-Fis . Someone won 100 million or I was looking for a certain type of person in Uganda, you are the perfect match, you must be lucky, don't get caught up in things like do this, do that now . No one gives us anything for free without making us feel sorry . If we have not filled the lottery, there will be no lottery . If we don't believe in such temptations, we can largely avoid being a victim of fraud and fraud on the Internet.
How to make password strong ? We should also be aware of this. Many people keep a password that can be easily guessed like 'Nepal@123'. A person who is a little wet with technology now has to keep a password on at least 30 digital platforms.
It is customary for people to keep their names like At 1, 2, 3 or Kathmandu9841 to be remembered. Thus, it is extremely risky to have passwords that can be guessed by everyone.
It is said that the password should be long with numbers, special characters, capitals and small letters. A pattern can be created to make the password easier to remember. Password management becomes easier if you break up a long sentence and make a pattern that you have such and such a password for the bank, such and such for social media, and such for shopping sites. Password can be changed every three months .
Just like there is a vault facility in a bank to keep jewelry safe, there are vaults that keep internet passwords safe, they are called password managers . It can be used for password management .
