Reallifecam Email And Password
Dibe Naro
While browsing on Safari, I noticed History items for reallifecam (a voyeur and/or po'rn site), even though I hadn't visited it. I deleted them from my History. When I closed the Safari window, there was another window with reallifecam on it. It must have opened underneath the window I was using. One of the webpages I was on must have been hacked or unsafe.
What worries me is there was only one pop-up window that I saw, but there were at least six or seven reallifecam items on my History. This means the website must have been transitioning between its own webpages or opening new tabs without my realising. I would like to make triple-sure that my computer and my information online haven't been compromised. Please, does anyone have any advice?
I don't know how "reallifecam" ended up in your browser history, but you obviously went somewhere you shouldn't have gone where a pop-up or window or tab redirected your browser there several times. You didn't get it by staying on Twitter and Yahoo.

But does possessing knowledge of something actually confirm one's identity? In this article, you'll learn what username and password authentication is, some of the challenges that come with it, and one simple solution to address most of these challenges.
Every time you've signed up for a website, you've likely been asked to create a username and password. Because this is such a common process now, it's become almost second-nature for some users to set up their accounts without much thought about the credentials they choose. And unfortunately, there's a lot at stake if a user chooses weak credentials.
In an ideal world, the user would always pick a strong and unique password so that it's harder for an attacker to guess. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world. For this reason, it's up to you as the developer to enforce this.
It's a good practice to enforce certain minimum requirements when asking users to create a new password. Of course, you have to find a balance between these requirements and user experience. If you make the sign-up process too tedious, you could be driving users away.
First, you have to check that the user doesn't already exist in the database. Once that's clear, you should again check that their password matches your minimum requirements, but this time you'll be confirming server side.
Before you store any passwords in your database, you should always hash them. The hashed password will be unrecognizable from the plaintext password, and it will be impossible to regenerate the plaintext password based on the hashed one. If someone gains access to your database, you don't want them to be able to swipe your entire users table and immediately have access to all user login credentials. That's why it's absolutely essential to hash your passwords.
Most programming languages will have either built-in functionality for password hashing or an external library you can use. bcrypt is one popular library that can help you hash passwords. Whatever you do, make sure you don't try to roll out your own hashing algorithm.
Once they submit their credentials through the login form, you'll search your database for the username they're signing in with. If you get a match, then you check the hashed password that they typed in with the hashed password stored in your database.
Now that your users are able to sign up and log back in, you still have one more case to handle. What do you do if a user forgets their credentials? In this case, let's assume that the username that you required users to sign in with was an email address. You'll need to generate a password reset link, email that to the user, and allow them to set a new password.
Because you have the user's hashed password stored in the database, and you used a one-way hashing function, there's no way to let the user know what their old password was. Therefore, they'll have to reset their password.
The implementation, intuitively, seems pretty bulletproof. You required your users to choose passwords with a certain complexity, and you hashed the passwords before storing them so that in the event your database is breached, the attackers won't have a goldmine of user login credentials. Great, right?
The credential lists used in credential stuffing attacks come from previously breached data across the web that a bad actor got their hands on. These attacks are extremely prevalent and have become one of the most widely used password attack methods. Even at Auth0, almost half of the login requests we receive daily are attempts at credential stuffing.
Most people have hundreds of online accounts, so it would be virtually impossible to memorize every single login combination without a password manager. According to some research, less than 25% of people use password managers. For those that don't, there's a pretty good chance they're reusing the same password across multiple accounts, or even worse, all accounts.
Earlier, you learned about why it's important to always hash passwords before storing them. If an attacker gains access to your database, you don't want them to have immediate access to plaintext passwords, so you hash them. While this does make it more difficult for a bad actor to exploit, it's still not impossible.
A rainbow table will take frequently used passwords, hash them using a common hashing algorithm, and store the hashed password in a table next to the plaintext password. Then, if an attacker gains access to a database that contains hashed passwords, they can compare the stolen hashes to those that are pre-computed in the rainbow table. If any of the hashes match, then they will know the original plaintext password.
This isn't the most efficient way to crack a password, but it can produce results nonetheless. You may be surprised at how fast a computer can brute force a seemingly complicated password. If you're curious, How Secure is My Password is an awesome tool that you can play around with to see how fast any password can be cracked.
As you can see, username and password authentication still has some pitfalls, especially if done incorrectly. Luckily, there's a simple way to combat all of these challenges: multi-factor authentication.
Multi-factor authentication involves bringing in an additional factor (what you know, what you have, what you are) on top of the username and password combination to identify a user. In this case, you already have "what you know" covered with the username and password, so the additional factor would have to come from one of the other two categories. This can be something as simple as a text message to the user's phone to verify that they are who they say they are after they sign in with their credentials.
A scammer with your instant messaging or social media passwords is not only a menace to you, but also to those around you, as one of our readers discovered this evening when he received a note from a friend via Facebook Messenger that said:
Unfortunately, putting in your username and password into the fake login page above would submit them to a server running on a low-cost web hosting service in the USA, using a vaguely legitimate-looking domain name that was registered less than a month ago.
Our reader immediately assumed that his friend had himself recently recieved a similar (perhaps even an identical) message, and had not only clicked through but attempted to login, handing his password to the crooks and thus ensuring that all his contacts would soon be spammed in turn.
I had this happen to me last night and this video was sent to all my messenger contacts.
I reset my Facebook password and deleted the video from all contacts that it had been sent to.
Am l now safe or is there something else that l should do ?
No, they do not have acess do your account if the password is secure enough, I recomend using a random password generotor and write it down on a peace of paper you keep with you, basiclly, they only get back in if the phisher attemps to crack the password.
Thanks for your reply Paul. Out of curiosity have you heard of the DHL Scam message?
Is it possible to ever find out if a phone has been hacked? Best to probably just change passwords etc..
Thank you so much!
