LinkedIn Hack – How to Stop Hackers From Attacking Your Network
As millions of people use LinkedIn the number of people who have ever used it to find jobs is enormous. That number includes tens of millions of people who have used the site as part of their job hunting. A significant number of these may have used LinkedIn to find a job on a freelance basis, or even for a short period of time. In addition, there are numerous millions of people who have used LinkedIn as a source of employment opportunities, as well as those who have used it as a source of employers. Some of these jobs (or freelance jobs) may also be short-lived, whereas some may be more enduring and in some cases may be able to sustain themselves for longer periods of time, even after the completion of the original project.
The LinkedIn hack is a significant point of interest for many security practitioners.
This article will cover the methods used by Facebook (and other social networking sites) and other large internet-using organisations to discover new user accounts, and users who have used these accounts, and how to check if a person is part of a compromised account and whether or not the user has been hacked, and the best way to stop the hackers from attacking your network, and the best way to use a password manager as part of your password collection policy.
With the increase in internet traffic the LinkedIn hack highlights the fact that there are huge numbers of people using the network for legitimate purposes. This means that the networks security is not as secure as it could be.
Facebook is one of the largest social networks, with more than 500 million users. LinkedIn has over 300 million user accounts which are often used for legitimate purposes. However, there are many more users that are not able to login to their account directly (or are unable to log in because their password is incorrect).

Over the last decade, more and more Internet services and companies began to depend on social networking websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. In general, companies and governments are increasingly relying on social media platforms to improve their public image, reach and influence public opinion online. In 2016, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn became the biggest social networking platforms, and they continue to grow in importance in 2017 and beyond. The reason why social media companies use these sites to obtain user information is to protect themselves from online hacks and cyberattacks. Social media companies have developed ways to prevent users from taking their information to their own web sites, but they do not always completely succeed in that effort. This white paper summarizes how social media companies try to protect themselves from internet attacks, and how to stay safe online.
In 2016, the social media giants began to grow ever more important in the public eye, becoming a significant part of an increasing number of public service announcements, government websites, and other public-facing online platforms. These social media companies’ use of these services have in many cases led users to believe that their information is being shared with these entities, and some researchers argue that it is being used to help the social media services with their marketing efforts.
However, as the social media giants continue to grow in importance, the more users realize that their information may be shared with attackers and bad actors. As social media users become increasingly aware that their details may be shared online without their consent or knowledge, they are more inclined to trust these sites more and more. 2 According to a 2016 survey, 68 percent of US adults believe that information that they upload to online social networking sites may be shared with third parties.
Social media companies have developed ways to protect users from online hacks and cyberattacks. When they have their own products available, social media giants usually rely on their own internal security measures to protect user information. However, users have begun to realize that many of these companies do not always take these steps to protect their personal information.
In the following white paper, we focus on how the social media giants manage to protect their users from internet hackers and cyberattacks. We will also discuss how other types of social media companies protect their data from data breaches.

Always use a good password.
Your password is your most important tool in keeping your information safe.
Your password is your most valuable resource in building a strong digital identity.
It gives you security in terms of making a single password which can be used on hundreds of different computing devices.
We all have a different password for a different site, that can be different to a social media site or even an ordinary banking site. But it is always a good idea to use a password which will make you feel safe and secure with the help of which you can save many important personal details.
Keep your password away from sensitive information, like credit card data and debit card details.
Keep your passwords for your online accounts and other online resources away from your other sensitive information like name, account details, social media accounts and so on. It is important to note that keeping sensitive information away from your password is only a good practice if your intention is to stop someone from accessing any of your account data.
Never type your online banking password in your browser.
Do not enter your banking password in your browser. Do not even use your internet banking password for your online banking profile. Doing so will automatically make it easier for any hacker to view your online bank details.
Your bank account or your internet banking profile should also not be accessed directly by anybody. You should always remember that your online banking profile is protected by a security mechanism which is password protected.
Don’t share your online banking password with anybody, and do not give it out to anybody to give it to anybody.
It is imperative that your online banking password is kept secret from anyone and everybody else. Keep your password secret because it makes you feel very secure and makes it difficult for hackers to access your online bank account.
It is also advisable that you should not share your online banking password with your family and friends because it is very easy to get hacked.
Encrypt your online banking password and keep it safe.
