Let’s take an example : If you key in the query in any search engines there will be sites which offer Javascript documents to be inserted to an Orkut profile. However this is not true ; The person who created the script will insert some sort of code inside which actually steal your personal info and as a results, they are the one who actually hack your Orkut account! The consequence? If light they may just send anonymous messages to your contacts, if serious they may upload unwanted files to your profile and you might just get banned from using Orkut anymore!

So guys, please do not believe in any of those tricks because most of them are SCAMS, even if they aren’t, that is just because there’s technical loop hole which allows them to take advantage of it. Few more hours later and the system engineer will fix the problem, so there’s actually no use in doing that

Be careful when you want to withdraw cash from any ATM Cash Machine & look around you before you do so because there’s always someone behind you! This guy has just showed the whole world How to Steal Money From ATM Cash Machine Manual Hacking. Just look at these pictures and you will know what I mean :

So here’s a man who looks like he’s repairing the ATM machine but the fact is that he is inserting something into the machine. After that he just wait & wait & wait ……..

Finally a victim came! So he inserted his card into the machine but it just won’t come out! Hmm… Is there anything wrong? He started to panic & look around for help~~ And here he is

The “Nice Guy” pretended to help him by telling the victim to type his PIN Code, but no matter how many times he tried, he still failed…

He thought his card got stuck in the machine, so he will ask from the bank tomorrow, however his card can be easily taken out from the machine with just a few simple hacks, and this guy took the card TOGETHER with the PIN Code, so he just withdrew all the $$$ from the victim’s saving account…
