Recover hacked Facebook Account

Image
I just lost my Facebook account to some random hacker. It was a joke, BTW. I just completed the recovery of a facebook account which was hacked, some months ago. First, You have to verify whether the account is hacked or not. Now, how we do this! We see the hacked Facebook account in another device(preferably). I have seen that the contact fields are different than the original. Mine was set at Michigan, US; which is as wrong as saying something like "The sun rises in the west". Next, I tried to reach that no.,but it was of no use as it was unreachable(ie. it's fake number set by the person who reset the password. Finally, I reached Facebook help center and reported the account as hacked. If you ever face this kinda problem; remember to write briefly about the issue. After 2 weeks I tried to reset the password with the login information I have. I successfully reset the password and kicked out the hacker from accessing the Facebook account. If you guys hav

Google+ is a dying member of Web now.

Image
Finally, Google has decided to remove Google+ product for personal users.  Google says Google+ currently has “low usage and engagement” and that 90 percent of Google+ user sessions last less than five seconds. Although Google says that they will continue to support enterprise accounts.  I also got a mail this morning about the same. According to mail, In December 2018, Google announced to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations.  On April 2, Google will begin deleting the content from consumer google+ accounts. However, photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted. Also it's worthwhile to mention that, a s early as February 4th, consumers will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events . What do you think of this decision made by search giant Google? Please leave a reply.

The idea came in my mind a few days ago when I am creating a password for an online account! In upcoming future, there may be some sort of technologies that can wipe our brain’s data or alter in such a way that we couldn’t remember our self’s identity, as shown in the movie “Total Recall” and others! Since the idea came to my mind, I changed some of the passwords that I already have for different purposes. So what I did? I just follow the rules of “Terminator 4: Rise of the Machines”. Remember? There is a scene in which Skynet’s operator i.e. the army general died and gave a catalogue in which all the passwords or you can tell the codes, for the underground safe house; are written. So, I open the notepad and started typing some random letters, numbers, symbols etc. by closing my eyes. Then I copied the string and made it the new password for

Google security engineers have uncovered a major vulnerability dubbed Poodle in Web encryption standard SSL 3.0. The bug makes browsers susceptible to hacking, but researchers state that it is not as harmful as Heartbleed or Shellshock bugs.  Google security engineers Bodo Möller, Krzysztof Kotowicz and Thai Duong stated in a report that POODLE is a new security hole in Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 that makes the 15-year-old protocol impossible to use safely and upgrading it will be difficult. “Poodle” stands for Padding Oracle On Downloaded Legacy Encryption.
