Hackers are stealing passwords by sending warnings!

A group of hackers are stealing account names and passwords by sending fake alerts to users of various services or social media. They also sell the stolen data to other cybercriminals. One such cyber attack has been detected by an organization working on e-mail security.

Hackers first send an e-mail message to fool users, security researchers at Confence said. The message says, someone tried to login to your account. Check account security to be safe. Many people click on the link sent by the hackers after seeing the name of the unknown city in the e-mail. Clicking on the link launches a fake web page.

The website also threatened that if the account is not accessed within an hour, the account will be deleted. Not only that, the clock on the website also starts counting time automatically. As a result, many panicked and tried to enter the account by entering the name and password. Hackers quickly change account passwords after collecting account names and passwords.

The company claims that no account will be deleted even if the instructions given by the hackers are not followed. But many are afraid and click on the link and get into danger. To stay safe online, beware of e-mail messages from unknown people or organizations. If you receive such an e-mail, you must enter the main website and change the password of the account.
