Wi-Fi network theft
Every day, many people are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices. Because there are so many different ways to hack into wireless networks.
We will show you how to protect your network from being hacked and stolen in this article. You should be aware, however, that the risk of hacking Wi-Fi networks does not end with network theft.
What methods are used
Guess the password
Because this is one of the most common mistakes that people make, you should use a strong password with symbols, letters, and numbers that aren't similar to the name of the network. A network named (internet-mark1988), for example, will be able to guess the password if the password guess is "mark1988."
Use apps and software
Many programmes and applications are used to break into networks, such as the "wpa tester" application, which guesses a code called pin, which is found in any router device, and then the password and connected devices are revealed.
The strange thing is that this application is legal and available on the Play Store, and the reason for this is that this application was created with the intention of testing your networks quickly.
Social engineering
Who hasn't heard of the term "social engineering"? It's a devious method of learning your knowledge and secrets that you're revealing to yourself.
Assume you're a security guard and someone asks you to let them into the area you're watching because they believe they've left their wallet or phone at home. You agree to let them in, only to discover that the area has been broken into.
This is an example of social engineering because you may unintentionally reveal your Wi-Fi password, birthday, or other personal information.
The possibility of stealing Wi-Fi networks
In this situation, your privacy is jeopardised in addition to the network's vulnerability. Yes, as previously stated, network penetration allows for the identification of all devices currently connected to a network; however, it is also possible to hack these devices, from which point eavesdropping is also possible, as I detailed in an earlier article. Social media accounts are also vulnerable to theft.
Conclusion
Everyone is responsible for protecting their own privacy as well as the privacy of those in their home, so you should always follow these rules and understand how to protect your privacy online. We've also previously discussed an article that explains how to protect your devices from hacking and snooping risks.
We also hope you find this post interesting and helpful.
