No doubt that celebrities are more talented , good looking and intelligent than us but they are damn vulnerable to hack.For example, lets take the Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence , recently whose’ extremely private photos were leaked by hackers from the Apple’s cloud storage service. Celebrities are being targeted because their private data are extremely valuable in the underground markets as well as many hackers try to show their skills to the world.
Why Celebrities are vulnerable to hack?That’s what this topic is about. When we forget our password of some websites we try to recover them from the ‘forget Password’ option, and there we have two or three option two reset or retrieve our password , first by receiving a password rest link in our email id, secondly we have to enter the ‘one time password’ received on our cellphone else we have to answer the security questions.Skip the first two options and lets try to answer the security questions. Most of the account’s security questions based on the followings :
- The place where you were`
- In which year you were born?
- Your childhood nickname ?
- Which High school did you attend?
- Your Childhood best friend name?
- Your birth year?
If you are a celebrity or a popular person then all the answers of the security questions are already out there around the internet . Turn on the Wikipedia pages you will get all the biographical information from the birth year to yearly life story.A celebrity has to face different questions which belongs to their personal life, likes dislikes, hobbies as well as career . Hit the search engines and it will retrieve all the information published on the online portal of news and entertainment channels . Their social profiles also yells various internal information about their daily life activities which can be the key of the security questions.
Well, nothing is secured in internet but one should adopt latest security features which are availe by their service provider such as Dual authentication systems , fingerprint recognition system etc so that a hacker have to access the celebrity’s device or have to plant malware to see the one time password which is not impossible but a difficult task.
