Vollah!!
I really like hackers and also like how they develop new new methods of hacking into thing of importance to other people.
A new type of attack currently going now days is the
YOUTUBE PHISHING ATTACK.
Some of the people reading this will be wondering what is a Phishing attack?
So, In simple words in phishing attacks, the hackers takes you to a site(in this case youtube), which looks like youtube, feels like youtube bit is NOT! youtube.
Coming back to the topic, you might get an email from
www.youtube.com(
actually not youtube.com) saying to confirm your account and will look like this.
The link no matter is of youtube.com but is not actually of youtube.com.
how?
We people usually thing any link like
www.google.com will take us to that site.
So let us all try clicking on the link:
Phishing link:
www.google.com
So, did you went to google? How was it? Was it something related to my blog? :p
Just like that, the verification link will take you to the Phishing page of youtube where you will send your account information to someone who can do anything he likes.
Also, you can see the URL bar, it will not be youtube.com.
