People are always wondering how they get hacked, how someone has gain accessed to their personal accounts. Since hackers are not psychic,they simply find ways to access your accounts through YOU. One way to access your account is through phishing scams. The hacker gets you to give them your passwords, by tricking you into giving up the information. One way is to pretend to be a legit organization, or one of your online friends. It's as easy as creating a fake account, with one of your closest friends names, or pretending to be your email provider. They will send you an email asking you to reveal your info, or to change your info. Because people usually use the same passwords, once you've given your password, it's easy for them to access your account, change your password, and lock you out. Another way to gain access to your private info, is by creating a fake site that's similar to yours. They send you an email as the fake account, and everything you type in to login to the fake account is revealed to them. They then access your accounts, and of course change the passwords and lock you out. The third way is to send you an invasive virus.
