Greetings from hackers!

We often call them Piratecrackers,
Yourhackers and Slickhackerz, and they can reveal whatever user data
someone may ask for, by only paying a small fine.

Although this “transaction” is illegal, many hackers advertise
themselves on the internet using the following phrases: “Spy on your
wife!” or “Who is spying on you” etc.

IT security expert Kevin Mitnick, revealed some of the ways hackers may
act. Most of them use social engineering techniques rather than electronic means.

Kevin Mitnick created a fake e-mail account and requested from a hacker
to break-in, claiming that the account belonged to his girlfriend. Then
the hacker asked him a few questions regarding his girlfriend (name of
her best friend etc.).

Later on the hacker sent an e-greetings card to his girlfriend,
pretending to be from her best friend. This e-mail contained a link that
she should follow in order to read the greetings card. Unfortunately
this link directed the e-mail recipient (girlfriend) to a virtual
environment that was similar to the e-mail provider’s environment,
requesting from the user to re-enter his login credentials, in order to
read the e-card. Off course those credentials were stolen by the hackers
and delivered to the man who paid for them.

In order to prevent falling victim to this kind or similar attacks IT
