If you use social media platforms, your account can be hacked within minutes with a single message. If you want to keep your account safe, here’s what went wrong in this new case. Do not repeat this at all, otherwise you may lose your old account.
How did hackers hack X account?
So let us know from the victim how the whole incident happened.. “Like every day, on Tuesday i.e. 12th November, I (Achalendra Kumar) was on office duty. “A message came in the direct message box of the X account at around 5 pm.” 41.It states that you have posted such content from your X account. If you want to keep your account secure. I saw this message within 24 hours. Because I paid X about a month ago, I thought there would be some content against which someone has filed a copyright complaint.
Losing control over how details are shared
When I clicked on the link in the direct message box, a message to log in came. I entered the password that I remembered, but probably it was wrong, so I created and entered a new password using dual authentication (which comes with a code on the mobile). On this link I found boxes to enter my X account handle (@achlender), mobile number (linked to this account) and email ID. As soon as I filled in these three details and submitted, I returned to the home page, but it was probably too late.
Everything changed in a few minutes
As soon as my confidential information reached the hackers, within minutes they changed my handle from @achlender to @StandartBeginsX and then changed the mobile control and then I came to know that my account has been compromised. After this, I took the help of another friend and informed X India about this.”
Have three layers of security on your account
If you want to keep your account safe, then increase its security. Do not click on any such link hastily and use triple security layer instead of two to keep your account safe. To avoid such a situation, you can use Google Authenticator.
