I assumed instagram would be secure against brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, sql injection, etc.. But it seems like every week someone new is getting there instagram hacked what gives? I find it hard to believe all these people are getting hacked by phishing scams and social engineering. Is it due to malware being put on these devices and logging there un and pw of every site they go on or are hackers getting scary good and able to preform attacks directly to instagram? #cybersecurity #security #ethicalhacking
You underestimate stupidity of humans...
The social engineering attacks have advanced . Its not through complex vectors you imagine . people click on links all the time. There are many vectors , attackers sometimes compromise one persons account and then use that account to send links to thier friends and compromise them and then spread from there. Many many vector like these
100% phishing, “hacking” doesn’t really exist anymore, 2022 is “hey gimmie your password” “ok, can do”
If you find it hard to believe. I had a friend who got convinced by a phisher to share their reset password link to another "friend"
Phishing mostly, but a sim swap might be worth it for a juicy enough target.
Phishing only
lmao
