How to Become an Ethical Hacker
Cyber-security is
one of the major concerns of online users these days and hackers are an
inevitable part of this discussion. Every part of our cyber world is influenced
by hackers and they exploit the vulnerabilities of systems to gain unauthorized
access. While numerous people are confused between the terms hackers and
cyber-criminals, many of you are willing to know more about hackers and how to
become one.
Have you ever considered hacking as a career?
There are few things that should be considered to figure out if hacking is the
right job for you.
As I’ve discussed in my earlier article, there is great confusion among people when it comes to things
like cyber criminals, hackers, ethical hacking, black hat hacking, white hat
hacking and more.
Who is an ethical
hacker?
Ethical hacker performs hacking to help an individual or company
and identifies the potential risks. An ethical hacker is a good guy and
sometimes the term is used synonymously White Hats. They work to improve the
overall internet security and search for weak points that could be exploited by
the black hats – the bad guys.
Take a look at these points and you will understand what
constitutes ethical hacking! These are “guidelines” that an ethical hacker must
follow!
1.
Respect an individual’s
or company’s privacy.
2.
Having a permission
(expressed – often written) to break into a network and look for the loopholes.
3.
After finding the
vulnerabilities, you tell your employer about the unknown flaws.
4.
After finishing the
work, you must not anything open for later exploitation by you or someone else.
5.
Do not take any kind of
advantage of the permission and access granted to you.
Now, take a look , It’s a very well
represented career path. For choosing this career as an ethical hacker, you can
start by becoming an Information Security analyst or by becoming a computer
programmer.

5 Ways to Improve Your Organisation’s Social Media Security
The BYOD (bring your own device) trend increasingly blurs the lines between personal and company data.
Employees now regularly access work data and social media accounts on their personal devices, or use work computers to check personal emails and social media accounts. As we change the way we work, social media security is growing in importance.
Why Does Social Media Security Matter?
Spear Phishing
Spear phishing is one of the most effective and damaging types of attack, often designed for the collection and resale of sensitive information.
Spear phishing is a type of highly targeted email scam which gets most of its efficacy from social media accounts, with friend and personal data used to customise and personalise malicious emails. Personalised emails are sent to the employees of an organisation, from an apparently trusted source like your boss, or one of your colleagues. These emails contain malware, or a link to a website harbouring malicious code, in order to extract sensitive information and login credentials.
Improved social media security and awareness will help employees to secure their personal data, and reduce the efficacy of spear phishing.
Connected Accounts :
Professional social media accounts (like LinkedIn) are often used at work, and in some cases company social media accounts are linked to an employee’s personal social media accounts. If that employee’s Facebook account is hacked, your company’s Facebook account will also be compromised.
Additionally, growing numbers of cloud-based apps allow you to log in with your social media account. So if your social account is breached, it’s not just one account that is compromised – it’s every account that’s linked to it.
How to Improve Social Media Security :
1.Don’t link accounts – yes, linking your accounts makes things more convenient because you only need to remember one set of log-in details. But the same is true for the hacker. If they break into one account, they can break into all that are linked and steal sensitive data.
2.Learn how websites use your information – some social media websites sell your data to third parties. The less information they have, the less can be hijacked in the event of a data breach.
3.Use privacy settings – these determine who can see what information about you on social media. Many social media websites change their settings regularly, so be sure to keep up to date to keep your data private.
4.Choose what data you share – you may be mindful about posting your address or phone number on your profile, but think about your status updates. Most people won’t think twice about sharing pet photos, but one in six people use a pet’s name in their password! Status updates, interests and personal information will all help hackers guess your passwords.
5.Roll out a social media security training programme – research shows that 91% of successful data breaches rely on the manipulation of an organisation’s employees and customers.
