Can Your Device Be Hacked By Clicking A Link?

Ans: Yes, yes!

I've been writing for a long time and it's not being written. Now I have free time, so I sat down to write!

Let's see how your device can be hacked just by clicking on a link!

  • Hackers can get your contact list, messages, location, and camera access.
  • Automatically install spyware on your device and execute it, almost hacking your entire device.
  • If not executed, a picture, PDF, DOC file, or any file type can be downloaded and executed to infect your device with a virus.
  • Hackers using browser exploits like Beef can retrieve saved passwords in your browser, location, and contact list.
  • Hackers may use link exploits to hack your computer directly.

How Do These Attacks Happen?

Many times, we receive messages on our phones saying "take 10 GB free" or offering app download links. Hackers can use bulk SMS or SMS spoofing to distribute viruses inside apps. These apps may work correctly, but the virus remains hidden and active even after uninstallation.

Emails can also be a source of hacking. Hackers may send a demo or link that auto-downloads a file or shows an error requiring interaction. These interactions can execute the virus, leading to data breaches, ransomware attacks, or system compromise.

Opening a link on an Android device can allow a hacker to access your camera, location, or saved passwords. Sometimes, popup ads or auto-redirects in browsers can also lead to exploitation.

How To Keep Yourself Safe?

  • Use good antivirus software to detect and prevent malicious files.
  • Consider using Linux or dual-boot systems for better security.
  • Always open suspicious links in incognito mode or a secure browser with no saved data.
  • Cover your laptop camera for added privacy.

How Do Hackers Execute These Attacks?

Hackers may use browser exploits, RATs, DOC exploits, image exploits, and other advanced techniques. They often use silent exploits that are undetectable, requiring a purchase for advanced attacks.

Stay safe and healthy. Thank you!

Baitul Hikmah: The Unforgettable Library of Baghdad - 24informationcafe During the Abbasid Caliphate (The Abbasids) Baghdad became a center of intellectual and economic excellence. One example of their funding of science is the famous library in Baghdad, Baitul Hikmah, which in English is called the House of Wisdom. From around the fifth century to at least the ninth century, the library's collection was the largest in the world. Its courtyard was always crowded with the great scholars of that time. Establishment and development The concept of Baitul Hikmah dates back to the founding of Baghdad. The second Abbasid caliph, Al-Mansur, moved the capital here. The aim was to completely wipe out the Umayyad influence centered in Damascus. Islamic power replaced the Sassanids in the region. However, their influence remained in the Abbasid court. As a result, many customs of the old empire remained. Sassanid nobles built houses called ganj to store books. Its equivale...

The Story of the Fire Mummy: The Process That Begins Before Death The Story of the Fire Mummy: The Process That Begins Before Death Mummy! It sounds like a huge pyramid, elaborate coffins in secret chambers inside, and corpses wrapped in cloth. Mummies therefore seem to be at the forefront of Egyptian civilization. But they were not the first—many before and after them preserved the dead in this process. The fire mummy is an example of that. This process of mummification by drying the body with smoke was practiced in our continent of Asia, in the Philippines. Kabayan is a hilly region of Benguet province in the northern Philippines. The Ibaloi tribe lives here. They live scattered in small villages at the foot of Timbac mountain . A fire mummy can be found in this mountain cave. The ancestors of the Ibaloi used to...
