Over the last couple of months I have started to receive random text messages from people that say they are for my bank and that something has happened to the money in it. After a few seconds of freaking out the first time I proceeded to call my bank and get to the bottom of what was happening. They told me that they were having problems with people being able to hack into our bank accounts because of people responding important information regarding their bank accounts. After doing some research, I found that this type of produsage is growing not only in the United States but through the world and in other countries such as China and the U.K.
I have been lost as to how to handle this and when will this stop? What measures will people go to in order to steal money from others?
Unfortunatley in this society there will forever be people out there looking to make the next buck, find the next scam and it seems as though todays technology is supplying them with a quick route to get there. Seems to me we need to get to basics and use common sense when giving out information!
ReplyDeletethis is really interesting. i hadnt heard of this happening before, so i am glad for the informations. thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI feel that with the integration of more and more technology in today's world, the more we will see ourselves facing these sort of issues. There will always be a market for these kind of things.
ReplyDeleteI have also been starting to notice profiles on facebook being hacked to be used to spam through their updates
