Warning Hacker attack on Hotmail, Yahoo and Google Mail – A trick
- Filed under: Information

Yesterday I was looking around in Twitter and I saw a trending topic of “hotmail” and I saw a lot of Twitter users saying that several popular free email providers like Hotmail, Yahoo, and Google were being hacked and the passwords of all accounts are leaked out.
Now, the fact is when you enter the website that it seemed to be the news of the whole incident, you are being tracked. The Trojans will be downloaded into your PC and they would be able to track all your passwords.
So, never enter those websites that seemed mysterious to you.
Below is a comment that I found in a website.

I first read about this yesterday and according to The Times, BBC, Yahoo et al my email provider had been hacked. It turns out now that this is not the case, as Rick has pointed out.Phishing is not the same as hacking. What has happened is phishing, where people have been fooled into giving away their login and password details by a fake website that looks genuine. All the details collected were posted to a website.
Hacking is very different. If Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail etc had been hacked that would be much more serious (and newsworthy)
So, do take note of this.
