Hacking technique 1..
Hackers send us a fake orkut duplicate site. the victim thinks he got logged out, and then tries to log back in. but instead the hacker steps in and steal your password.
How to protect yourself from this- whenever you see an orkut login page, check the addressbar, and make sure it says, Orkut.com, or google.com or orkut.co.in or orkut.com.br. if you have any doubts, simple close the window.
Hacking technique 2.
Hacker send a virus (/malware /trojan) to your computer, that records everything you type, most cyber cafes, and public computers are already affected with such viruses, these viruses do not delete anything from your computer, they just sit there, and steal your passwords.
How to protect yourself from this most of the times such viruses enter from your internet browser' now, internet explorer is pretty safe on an updated, and orignal, windows system, but if someone uses pirated version of windows, you will probably get these viruses faster if you use Internet explorer on such pirated windows so, the safe thing to do is, stop using internet explorer, download, Firefox, or Google chrome they are safe, secure, absolutely free, and very very fast, i personally prefer google chrome, it changed the way i use the internet, this is just much much faster now.
These are the two main techniques hackers used on someone's orkut account, and hence i provided simple techniques i used to protect myself, two more things that experts recommend, is:
1. Keep an effective and updated antivirus,
2. Use firewall to protect your computer from threats.
It don't take 100% guarantee to make u safe from hackers but very very effective.
