our imaginations get wild. But hacking is of accounts is caused due to
lack of security precautions taken by the users using it not the
companies which build the application.

as users don’t take precautions and then run around and report of
getting hacked. We need to first of all need to have different passwords
for different accounts. Last year it was reported that maximum accounts
were easy to hack because users had same password for all of there

available.
