Beware! Hackers on the hunt

By Staff Correspondent
Watch out for the hackers if you are an Internet user! They are on the hunt to trick you into giving them your username and password
Hackers posing as representatives of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are sending "urgent" e-mails to Internet users, asking them to provide their “username" (the name used for access to the Internet) and "password" for what they say urgent purposes. "Otherwise", threaten these self-styled ISP representatives to "delete your account."
These hackers are also reported to have called Internet users over telephone and asked for the user name and password on similar excuses.
While in most cases a baffled Internet user tends to call up the ISPs to check out whether they should really divulge their username and password to somebody over the phone or e-mall, some do get fall Into such trap.
Once an Internet user divulge his/her username and password. the hacker uses the account until the victim finds out what’s happened. But by that time the victim is in for a staggering usage bill.
Some Proshika Net users received a similar e-mail from a hacker on Monday. The mail sent by
Administrationfgbdonline co m" claimed that the Proshika computer systems was severely affected by the notorious Love Bug virus, which has erased all information concerning the user’s accounts. The "Administration" said it must get access to individual accounts for the sake of to restoring the lost data.
The hacker also asked the potential victims to send their username and password to the following an e-mail address— BOL Access!'। hot mail, com."
Failing to respond with your user name and password can result in the termination of your account with Proshika Net. the hacker said in a bid to scare the target victim.
However, there is a peculiarity in the mail "An ISP administrator has the authority and tools to access to anyone's Internet account, if need be. So. no administrator would ask for username or password just like that,” said a target victim "Besides, why should an administrator ask us to submit passwords to a Hotmail account?"
One such target victim recognised the e-mail as the work of a hacker and replied to the Hotmail address of the hacker with a note of warning The hacker retaliated by stuffing more than 500 e-mails into his account!
The Proshika Net told the Daily Star that the Proshika computer systems has not been affected by Love Bug virus nor has any hacker broken into the system
’ Maybe someone Is try ing to trick out our users for the passwords internet users should never disclose their passwords to anyone even If they identify themselves as ISP representatives." said a Proshika computer systems official.
