01 – The Truth About These Fake Password Recovery Emails
The truth is, this scam works by fooling you into giving out your own password to a stranger via email, one of the requirement set out by these hackers is the sending of your own user name and password to a fake ‘password recovery’ account supposedly managed by the email provider.
Unbeknownst to you, that fake email belongs to the hacker. Usually these emails have a very suspicious name to it, for example recoverpassword@hotmail.com (example) or adminpasswordrecovery@yahoo.com (example). So, how does it work?
These hackers claimed that there is a bug in the Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo mail system and by emailing your user name, your password and your spouse’s /friend’s /enemy’s email address to the designated email address, a reply together with the requested password would arrive in your inbox within a day or two. Truth is, you’ve been conned into giving out your password, thus allowing the hacker unrestricted access into your email account.
The bottom line is, never email your password to a stranger, not even Microsoft’s hotmail team members or Google administrator, and your password can be retrieved with the ‘lost password’ feature in hotmail or any other email system.

03 – Ancient Hacking Method
- Brute Force Hacking – This ancient method uses a bot to login an account using a set of password. The idea is to ‘guess’ the password by continuously logging in, it’s like flooding the server with million of request per minute, common sense would tell you that if a server spot a DOS attack, it would block the IP address immediately.
- Bug – Unless you are a computer genius, you will never know what a security bug is. Even if you found a bug, you will need to be an expert to find your way around.
- Phishing – This method involves sending you a ‘reset password’ link via email. Once you try to reset your password, it will automatically email your password to the person behind the phishing. Almost unworkable because email provider knows this and will blacklist the email immediately.
