Due to increasing cyber attacks, people have to face problems day by day. Due to hacking and viruses, it is important to take better measures to protect your account.
New methods are also being adopted by hackers to hack Gmail.
Fake mails
Emails received from banks or tax or other institutions are important enough that users ‘open’ them without thinking.
This is when their ‘Gmail’ gets hacked as hackers usually use methods that are unsuspecting to users.
The mails sent by hackers ask for bank PIN code or other similar information, which if given will make your account unsecured.
Hackers usually use such softwares that provide hacking links, on clicking which all your information and pin codes etc. are accessible to the hacker.
Hacking of commercial transactions
Fraudulent hackers usually give their victims the impression that they are high-ranking officials of an important organization and need the information urgently.
Hackers use such methods that ordinary users fall under their spell and without a second thought give them information that they should not have given in any case.
Ways to keep Gmail secure
In order to keep Gmail safe, the website called ‘Gadgets Now’ has described some methods that can be followed to secure your Gmail account.
Be wary of suspicious mail
Before opening any mail, check the address carefully because there is bound to be some mistake, some misspelled letter, which can indicate a forgery.
The subject may have asked for personal information or a word may have been misspelled in the address.
Anonymous links
Never ‘open’ any links you receive in mail that you are not familiar with.
Be assured
Double verification means verify that the email sent is valid or sent by a hacker. This can be checked through the safety app on the mobile.
