This makes it very easy for hackers to penetrate.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that makes Gmail account users vulnerable is clicking on every link they see without being sure the link is safe or ignoring safety warning messages from their browsers. The followings are the various method by which a Gmail account can be hacked.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"1-using-phone-number\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Using_Phone_Number\"><\/span><strong>1. Using Phone Number<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This method involves a bit of trickery on the side of the hacker. It is part of the \u2018social engineering methods. It involves the deception of the user by the hacker, convincing the user that something might be wrong with their account.<\/p>\n<p>The hacker goes on to tell the user that they need to send back a code they received from Google in order to strengthen their account security. Losing a Gmail account is one thing a user fears so much, so if this is about strengthening their account security, why not?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at a more practical instance:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greg is a hacker. Daisy is a Gmail account user. Now, Greg intends to hack Daisy\u2019s Gmail account but he has only her phone number and maybe addresses. He goes to the Gmail login page and clicks on Forgot Password button. He is asked to input the phone number he used in registering (Daisy\u2019s phone number now).<\/p>\n<p>Gmail sends a verification code to that phone number and now his work begins. He calls Daisy pretending to be working with Gmail. Asks that Daisy sends the verification code she just received back to him to enable him to complete her account security tightening process.<\/p>\n<p>Daisy, unsuspecting of his malicious intentions, sends out the code to him. With this verification code, he has the power to change Daisy\u2019s password to a temporary one and may later change it permanently when he gains full access to her email account. When he does this, he locks Daisy out, and unless she reviews her account settings and tightens things up from her end, Greg may continually have access to her account.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"2-using-the-mspy-app\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Using_the_Mspy_App\"><\/span><strong>2.

Hackers use this particular method so much, so we can say it is one very popular method.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever received a link with a message claiming to be from a platform that you have an account with, stating that the security of your account might be threatened and that you need to create a new password to protect your account? Well, that\u2019s phishing. You have to be smart and quick to recognize the website as fake, otherwise, you would inadvertently be providing the black hood-wearing man behind his computers with your sensitive email details. The page usually appears as a password-changing page for Gmail, asking you to enter your old and new passwords.<\/p>\n<p>This method has an intermediate level of technological expertise, however, it could still be achieved by virtue of some phishing kit for hackers who are not technologically up there.<\/p>\n<p>The followings are the steps to completing your Gmail account hack:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> You might have to get a phishing pack (it will be necessary to complete this process)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Register for a free web hosting service (since you might not be needing the fake website anymore after a successful hack)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> You will have to create a page that is convincing enough to your victim (in this case, a Gmail password-changing page)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Have in mind that the purpose of this new fake website is to have your victim submit their old and new passwords. Since the fake site is not in any way effective in actually changing their Gmail password to a new one, you should ignore the new password and work with the old password. The old password is their current password and that is the one you will use to gain access to their Gmail account<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> When you are done creating the phishing website. Set up the phishing pack<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Create an official-looking web address to minimize suspicion. Be sure that it is devoid of spelling or other errors, and embed your fake website link into the web address so that it becomes a link. The website should appear like an official Gmail password recovery web address so that it convinces your targets. When they click the link, it will land them on your phishing website where they expose their password to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Send the email to your targets and see how many of them jump on it to reveal their passwords to you. Although, a good number of your targets may suspect that you are up to no good, but a good number of them too, will fall for it.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Browsers_Password_Manager_Method\"><\/span><strong>4.

But when you try to open your Gmail and it asked that you log in again, then there\u2019s a problem. It does not end there; when you attempt to log in, it tells you that your password is incorrect. You probably have never even changed this password before. From all indications, your attacker has changed your current password to something else he alone knows, thereby, logging you out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"notification-from-gmail\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notification_from_Gmail\"><\/span><strong>Notification from Gmail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ever gotten a notification from Gmail asking you if you tried to log in from an unrecognized browser or location? Well, if yes, it might be a clear indication that someone somewhere has tampered with your account. When you get a notification like this, you might be able to recover your account if only you act swiftly by changing your password.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"strange-messages\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strange_Messages\"><\/span><strong>Strange Messages<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another clear indication that your Gmail account may have been hacked is when you are seeing messages that you did not send.

If they cannot get it, they begin to ask your friends or contacts for it. Your unsuspecting contacts will think it is you and begin to dole out your information without the slightest idea that they are giving that information to someone else. You can help save a situation like this by informing them about the hack and warning them against giving out any information about you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"calling-your-bank\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calling_Your_Bank\"><\/span><strong>Calling Your Bank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact your bank or any other institution that may be in possession of your assets and business documents, or even money to notify them about the hack.
