I'm considering now to buy an iPhone since everybody says they are secured and difficult to hack. Will it be risky for my data or privacy if I buy a secondhand one?

Also, is it possible for people from long distances to know your IP address through the internet?

Does anyone know how to hack an Instagram account? I tried reporting a post that includes me in it but it wasn’t going “against community guidelines”. I just want it removed.

What exactly is the purpose of hacking into for example your schools wifi, or like a starbuxes wifi?

And I'm not talking about like, ddosing the network, I'm asking what can you do with a hacked network, with their wifi password? Is there any vulnerabilities you could utilize?

When i share the link in a text or online, it shows an image of the website instead of just a blue link. How do I correct that? Thanks for any help in the matter.

Someone is texting my GF from a phone number that is unknown to both of us. I did a reverse lookup and could only identifiy it was from my town. What can I do to learn who it is or how to get it to stop? They are texting some inappropiate stuff and they definitely know who I am. Thanks so much for any guidance, I am freaking out.

someone hacked my fb or I locked myself out of it.

It says it's sending a facebook recovery code to my email. logging into my email, haven't received any recovery codes. all facebook related emails deleted as well.

On my facebook it says that my password was only changed 2 weeks ago (I remember changing it) and my email is still attached to the account

I also had 2 factor turned on my gmail as it is an organizational email, there wasn't any suspicious log ins or notifications on my phone for 2 factor

I don't understand why all my facebook related emails are not showing up in my email and cannot receive new ones?

I was in the middle of a game (valorant) then i randomly got disconnected and heard a guy say a word (probably indian or -ish). Then I restarted valorant and checked the regions, it said the closest is Bahrain (still 100 ping plus). So Im asking what couldve happened? My wifi is without password, mostly not secured. Did I got hacked through wifi for some reason?

I lost access to my Facebook and I can't change the password, I wanted to know if there was a way to hack it and get access back

Simple Q&A

This is not a request. This is to given me an understanding of today's hacking capabilities from a technological standpoint.

Are there any hackers in the world, or group of hackers who are skilled enough to crash meta (fb/ig), twitter, and tt indefinitely, making user access impossible for weeks or even months? I've heard servers are spread out and redundancy 'should' allow them to come back online, but if someone or some entity really wanted to accomplish this, would today's hacking capabilities allow it?

Hi, I am a beginner and I did a scan with chkrootkit on Linux mint. The scan flagged the following programs as suspicious. Should I be worried?

I installed Linux mint a few weeks ago and havent done a whole lot with it as far as installing apps.

Thanks

Pls and thanks

Edit: I appreciate the replies but I probably need to regain my attention span

Edit 2: Damn … well this is funny

I don’t do anything wrong, I just don’t like the idea of someone having access to what I search on google.

Is it easy to access the router of my house and see the history from all my family members?

I wouldn’t do that, obviously.

Thank u!

Hey everyone,

My email has been hacked, they turned off my phone verification and put their number in as one of the authenticated numbers! Bas*eds is there anything I can do with this number?

I had a student who had to take a test on a laptop that belonged to the school. However, the admin forgot the firmware password, now the laptop either has to be sent to the shop or the chip has to be replaced is there any way that we can get around it just through the laptop, or codes. I don't know much about coding, please help me out.

Hi, what are your thoughts on using the password manager setting on your internet browser? For example, when you type in the first few letters or numbers, your internet browser automatically remember passwords and credit card info for certain acounts.

On one hand, I feel like that could potentially reveal a lot of personal information if a device gets stolen or falls into the wrong hands.

On the other hand, despite recording all my passwords manually, It really is a lifesaver having that information remembered.

But if course, protecting your identity should be crucial. Wondering if it's better to have it disabled?

Thanks for reading.

I’ve been thinking, I’m on internet for 10 years now and there must be so much information of me online in form of data that I feel invaded.

What is the best wat to delete/erase all my data?

For example, I have google account for 10 or so years, and I don’t want all my data being available for whoever can buy it.

How do I take the right measures to defend my privacy?
