Expert tips on secrets of cyber hacking

It does not require much intelligence to hack into an account. This was the message from independent cyber consultant Anup Girdhar at a seminar on the ethics of hacking. The event was organised by the department of computer science of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, today.

Girdhar, who runs an independent cyber consultancy in Delhi and is a member of the National Anti-Hacking Group, said people were careless when it came to using PIN and e-mail passwords.

Using simple demonstrations, Girdhar showed how easy it was for anyone to retrieve confidential data. The Telegraph - Calcutta : Jamshedpur
