What are the Different Types of Hacking?

Hackers can access your passwords in a multitude of different ways. The most common methods are shoulder surfing, social engineering, dictionary attacks, and just attempting to guess passwords from information about the user that’s available to them. Email hijacking is widespread. Hackers, spammers, and social engineers taking over control of people’s email accounts (and other communication accounts) has become increasingly more common. Once they control an email account, they prey on the trust of the person’s contacts. Be sure that you protect yourself by being diligent.
