Email hacking has become a major cyber nuisance intwin cities with increasing number of net users complaining of losing their email data. Cyber victims can now lodge a complaint with the police for redressal of their grievance. Earlier, cyber police did not entertain complaints with regard to email hacking. Now the affected people can lodge complaints with the police. According to city cyber experts, over 60 per cent of the cyber attacks are hurled on the login pages. The hackers do nothing but focus on finding out the feeble loopholes in the designed pages of sites and format programs to launch repeated attacks. They inject devastating programs through these vulnerable points. "Hacking tools are readily available on the net for download," says John Diwakar, a software expert.
However, the websites which provide information on hacking tools claim that the data they put up is only for the sake of ethical hackers. "Hacking of the Email ID can happen only when a person reveals his password to a known person. Surprisingly, only persons whom we trust and give our password, tend to do such things", said Ravi Kumar Reddy, inspector, Cyber Crime. "Earlier, when an Email ID is hacked, all a person could do is, create another ID and upload all the important data once again. But now, he can lodge a complaint in the cyber crime department under CID situated at Nampally. The Cyber crime cops will track the hacker and the victim can get back his hacked Email ID," the inspector said.
