#4 Targeting Web-Based Databases

When a person logins into a website or uses his credit card for online payments, the information gets stored in the data base of that website. This is to facilitate users for easy use of the site. This simple user friendly tool of website indeed attracts hackers with malicious intentions. According to Alperovitch the cyber spies can use specially crafted text that makes the data base to execute codes rather than simply storing it, giving out credible information about users which they can exploit. Overall it’s a malicious takeover of the system.

#3 Through Wifi

Hackers can sneak in to the system by exploiting wireless network like Wifi. They can literally sit just outside the company, and hack in to unsecured or poorly secured Wifi lines, and execute their wish. Alperovitch said that’s how hackers got into the retailer TJ MAXX system and looted $45.7 million.

Well that seem to be a lot money lost over a small fuzz up in security system.
