Protect your Gmail Account

If  you have been losing sleep over thoughts that your Gmail account being hanged by mischief mongers, you’re not alone. A simple search on Google reveals that “How to hack Gmail password” is one of most searched topic on internet “how to” search. It implies that there are a large number of people who are trying to hack Gmail or Orkut accounts.

To be safe than sorry, we have been told to update our OS, programs like MS office, Firefox, Adobe acrobat reader etc. This will secure your Google and affiliated accounts from known vulnerability in software. Hackers do target security vulnerability once it is known. Also, use a decent antivirus, there are so many options available in market but few are better than others.
When you get a link in email or Orkut or Face book, make sure it is from genuine source. A hacker might send you a link to something and ask you for login/password of Gmail. Site look and feel would be same as Gmail login screen but it will be not hosted on Google servers. Whenever you enter critical information like login/password, credit card, bank account etc make sure you check the address bar in your web browser
This is particularly true if you are using a shared computer. Also, in case you are using a cyber cafe make sure you never save password for your Gmail, particularly in Firefox hacking is so simple for the hackers.
