JAKARTA - Twitter Account Presidential Special Staff of Social and Disasters, Andi Arief, alleged to have been targeted by hackers for a long time. This is evident from the pattern of posting the hacker.
"When viewed from the posting Andi Arief Twitter account hijacked, filled with taunts and curses, then the offender is clearly targeted to hijack the account. Whoever did it is beyond the context of ethical hackers, aka Black Hacker," said Web security auditors, Nathan Gusti Ryan, to Legal, Thursday (11/25/2010).
According to Nathan, at least there are several ways by hackers to hijack someone else's account (hacking accounts). The first step is to Soceng techniques (social enggineering). This technique is mostly used by spammers. How to send an email with a link that will direct the victim to visit a bogus site, like Twitter, Facebook or other major sites. When the victim then automatically log your account information will change hands to the hijackers account to be used for their interests.
The second way, continued Nathan, relating to the negligence of the owner of the account. The possibility of using a parallel account owner password, or a single password for many accounts. Consequently, if the password falls into the wrong person then all the accounts that are owned will become a potential target to be hacked. Even the effect would be a chain, can make the site exposed to hack as well. Another omission is the user accidentally create an account falls into the hands of others.
"Usually people are lazy to remember passwords and usernames are many. Then they write elsewhere, on the phone, BB, or paper. Well, when the device is lost this account can be used by others," said Nathan.
In addition, continued Nathan, another way is to take the data as a password reset. Each registration at any websites, including Twitter also has facilities Reset Password. If this password reset can be done by someone, usually require some personal data and specific questions.
"Personal data can be in search of a number of accounts, while this particular question when is predictable then reset cccount be easy to do. Then another account would fall into the hands of the hijackers," he said.
Therefore Nathan themselves do not recommend that people try a software that serves to reset the account. Especially visit the link looks suspicious, obtained from an unknown email.
