hacker will tweet friends or contacts you online using the name of someone you know. Then he asks you to do a favor, such as sending a spreadsheet or giving the data of "Office". "Everything you see on a computer system may be altered or manipulated or augmented by a hacker.Imagine all the information you could retrieve an employee not knowing if you posed as an IT Help desk worker or contractor . About 90% of people that we've used successfully in trust us because they thought we worked for the company like them.

Re: How to protect website from hackers

Protect your files with passwords. Of course, your site contains scripts, databases and files that are not meant to be shared publicly, but perhaps the spam bots of search engines. To avoid having to ask someone to get them, it may be ideal for protecting password.Secure with your e-mail. There may be times when you will receive an e-mail courtesy of your form of business online. There are even others who will send a message directly to your mailbox. This may mean that the spammers have got hold of your contact information may be in web or someone else. To avoid this, you can use software that will divide your e-mail. It will be very difficult for spamming software to read.
