How To Hack Facebook - Track Someone-Social Engineering-Avoid Getting Hacked-Trape
The most popular low-tech method for gathering passwords is social engineering. Social engineering takes advantage of the trusting nature of human beings to gain information that later can be used maliciously. A common social engineering technique is simply to con people into divulging their passwords. It sounds ridiculous, but it happens all the time.
Phishing has long been associated with cybercrimes that use deception-particularly, social engineering – to dupe victims into disclosing personal or financial account data. Once disclosed, these data are then used to perpetrate (financial) fraud. In the past, the deception part of a phishing attack has commonly been delivered via unsolicited email, spam. Attackers first sent spam to thousands and later millions of recipients with confidence that some recipients would fall victim to the deception, click on a URL embedded in the email, visit an impersonation web site, and unwittingly disclose credit, personal or sensitive data (e.g., usernames and passwords). This traditional face of phishing is still present but no longer the prevalent or only form in the current threat landscape. Scammers can gain control of a consumer’s email or social networking account in a number of ways. These include genuine-looking emails or messages from the site requesting the consumer to ‘confirm’ their username and password for their social networking accounts via attached links. Once a scammer has control of a consumer’s account, they can change the password and pose as that person. Scammers use this information to send bogus emails or messages that look like they are from the registered user to request money or gain access to other consumers’ accounts.

Protect yourself
Never send your online account details through an email and think carefully before you give away any personal or financial information.
Never enter your personal information on a website if you are not certain it is genuine. Don’t click on the link provided in an email or call the phone number provided; instead, find the business's contact details through a general internet search.
Keep your computer updated with the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and use a good firewall.
When using social networking websites:
Check the privacy settings and think about who you really want to have access to your personal information.
Be careful about what personal information you put on the internet because scammers can use these details to guess your passwords or to commit fraud.
Check how much information about you is available on the internet—type your name into a search engine and see how many hits you get.
Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security—online ‘friends’ may not be who they say they are.
If you receive an email that appears to be from a family member or friend, look at the way the email is written and ask yourself whether the email sounds like it was written by that person.
If you receive an unexpected request for money from what appears to be a friend, try to contact that friend or their family or friends to verify the request. Do not use any of the contact details in the message.
