Why Everyone can't hack facebook

Worth Reading

Hello EveryOne Reading this post, today i am going to share something that may not make sense as a programmer, but it is logical and annoying. I was in a WhatsApp group where people wanted to learn hacking. you can find many WhatsApp groups link online.
So i was there in one of the WhatsApp group, every participant in that group wanted to learn hacking as the group name was learn hacking.
So i texted in the group "hello i am programmer" and just after texting this every participant started texting me even the admin of that group, and 90% of them were asking about how to hack social media account.I was smiling while reading these messages because all of them were illogical. And today i will tell you why it is so:

1.You can never hack a company(tech giants like Facebook): So whenever someone asks me that can you hack facebook account or facebook. The first thing i tell them is that you can never hack a company because it is nearly impossible to find flaw and exploit it, every Company has a team of Security experts to prevent them from getting hacked. Apart from this companies often conducts bug bounty programs which is open challenge to hackers to find flaw in their programs or site and get paid for it. so it becomes very difficult to hack database and other things of a company to get password and userid.

So the question arises why there are so many complains of people getting hacked online??

The answer to this lies in the question. people get hacked not the company, in 98% of cases people or the users get hacked from their end. users generally don't even think about their security until or unless they get hacked.
In most of the cases hackers generally play with the mind of users(Social Engineering) and uses some programming knowledge or you can also say some technical knowledge to get the credentials of user. And believe me in India it is very Easy to manipulate people.

So let me tell you how people get hacked.Especially in a country like India everyone wants things for free and that is where hacker play with mind. Hacker creates a website where he put some free stuff and users login with their credentials which get stored to the database which hacker created. And at the end free stuff website tells you to share that with your friends either on WhatsApp or facebook groups etc.

So let me give you an idea if you want to hack someone's pubg account you can create a website with free UC and ask the user to login with userid and password.

if you read it till last paragraph thanks for reading. i was writing this during CORONA QUARANTINE.

AS RAMDAS ATHAWALE SAID "CORONA GO".reverse()
