While a business person cannot allow his or her competitors to know his strengths nor weaknesses, hackers also do not want their targets to know a few things about themselves
When you are not informed, you are easily exploited by the hackers. It is therefore important for every individual to know about these things that hackers do not want them to know.
Christopher James Hadnagy, a security engineer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hadnagy, shares things hackers never want their targets to know, these are:
1. They like lazy people
Lazy people cannot come up with a complicated and longer password, lazy people cannot keep on changing a password now and then, a lazy person will end up using a simple and common password like "God, SeX@6, KenyaisAFRICA," because they cannot remember 16 character passwords. The save passwords, they write them down, etc
2. Your vanity can be used against you
This simply means what you tell others can harm you. A hacker will keenly listen to you as you talk. Likewise, men, hackers are always listening and not talking. Taking every happening in your life to social media is one way of talking, somebody might be listening to you.
3. The more you put online, the easier you are to hack
You are buying a dress from an online shop, maybe your first time and also your last time to purchase from online, why should you give your official emails and names? Why not think of creating a one-time email to use while visiting such one time sites? Why use your long time email to buy a movie ?
4. You are not invincible
Some people assume their date or computer systems are not valuable to be hacked, no one is safe including the hackers themselves. A hacker can turn your computer into a 'zombie', computers that are used just for creating traffic to a site while administering Denial of Service (DoS) to a victim. Your useless data can be so useful to a hacker, especially for hackers' long-term goals
5. Hackers are very patient
Yes, 'waiting' is one of the processes in hacking, a hacker can take years while working on one target. They also don't forget, the victim can end up forgetting that one time his or her Facebook password was not working, but a hacker will always keep it in mind.
