In this long detailed post I will be explaining how to avoid being a victim of a hacker and how to stop the hacker blackmailing you! I recently read a post about a "Hacker" hacking miss teen usa computer and blackmailing her and her friends for strip shows and pictures, This is a disgust in the hacking community and I want to share to you guys girls boys and women how to avoid being a victim of this cowardly crime!

Firstly you do not want to be open to attack or be interested by temptation. 

Hackers attack in a lot of different ways:

1. Social Engineering
2. Website Attacks
3. Temptation Offers
4. Network Attacks

Social Engineering  

This is where you are open to attack by Twitter,Facebook,Instagram, YouTube or any type of online interactive websites. Normally attacking through messaging you with a compilation of pictures or some sort of free object, Or they can also attack by videos or attracting you to them.

Website Attacks

Website attacks can happen any time of the day and will normally get you "Infected" you need to be so careful when going to a website. It is imperative that you understand that a website can be hacked to hack you. Most websites load a java drive by and you have to accept a pop up and then a download and execute is run on your PC. Avoid all pop ups!

Temptation Offers

Giving you something so irresistible that you are forced to download it and open and see what all the fuss is about but when you open it nothing happens and you are confused. So that is the basic response to a temptation attack and you are most likely to fall for this.  

Network Attacks

Being attached to a Network which is where you are connected to a main frame and others are also connected to it like a home with a router and 10 others are connected. But with a network it is a 100,000 to 1 router scale. A hacker can take over 100,000 computers just by attacking a mainframe. This is very unlikely to happen to you but if you live in Europe be careful.  

So be careful when browsing online now we will talk about how to avoid being blackmailed. 

Hackers often blackmail you for something you have done or have on your computer, such as:

They have spied and saw you naked on webcam

You might have browsing history that they threaten to tell your parents about

Or files of business content that they will leak

The best way to stop being blackmailed is to avoid it! By not being stupid and not being open to attack. 

If a hacker does threaten you then say something like this: 

Okay, Im sorry what do you want me to do ?

then turn of your computer and report it to the police or your parents. 

The problem will need to be rectified not just left and hope to go away.

Serials can be found online if you do not feel safe enough!
