blackmailing

Cell phones, connected to e-mail and social media accounts are a sensitive area and have a major risk of being hacked. Our cell phones have access to our Dropbox, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts, and in most cases to our banking information. A hacked cell phone makes blackmailing, identity theft and losing money a great threat for the owner of the device. With some social engineering, a telephone number and some basic IT knowledge, it is an easy job to hack one’s phone. A trustworthy but otherwise fake site that is convincingly copying a service you use is enough to get the sensitive information they need for a successful hacking.
