Telegraph Website Gets Hacked, Reports Emerge

There are some reports which say that high-profile Telegraph website is one of the latest sophisticated websites that has been hacked now by putting personal details and passwords of a large number of users at exposure risk.

During the last week there were reports about Spotify’s breach and now a proof has been posted by hackerblog that says the SQL injection techniques proved quite effective to enter the database of the said website.

According to Rik Ferguson, the owner of the Trend Micro blog, “a large number of users opt to use the same password on their various accounts and now these users’ names and passwords are in hackers’ access, the risk is even bigger.

Ferguson also said, “At the same time, if you are a subscriber of the Telegraph website and have concerned regarding safety of your online accounts, it is suggested that you must change your others’ accounts passwords as well as of your Telegraph web site.”

Digital security has become a serious issue as more and more people are getting involved in the internet and there is a dire need to take some new precautionary measures.

One of the basic causes of becoming an easy victim of these online attacks is passwords repetition and the enhancing markets for online information are making it quite easier for hackers to attack the major sites.
