how does people hack our accounts?

[Ajith Kp]

Mainly the hackers are using "phishing" method.
Method: Hackers will create the page simliar to sign in pages of Facebook, GMail, Yahoo, etc. using PHP or ASP. The PHP/ASP application will save the username & password while the user tries to sign in.

Another method of hacking user accounts is by XSS method. XSS hacking method is client side attacking. The full tutorial on XSS hacking is here: http://terminalcoders.blogspot.in/2012/1...orial.html
The hacker will aquire the values of cookies and using Cookie Manager they will edit/create cookies using the values of hacked cookies.

Another method is server side attacking like SQLi. But it will possible only if the server is poorly secured. Full tutorial on SQLi is also here: http://terminalcoders.blogspot.in
