Top 5 Widely used Methods for hacking LinkedIn Accounts :

1. Phishing Attacks- Well! I am telling again and again that When it comes to Account hacking, Phishing attacks are the best and easiest way to do it. In simple words, this attack is evergreen and no one fix's it. Let me clear you what is it? Phishing attack means the art of dragging someone into a well or something else. The most widely used technique in phishing is the use of Fake Login Pages, also known as spoofed pages. These fake login pages resemble the original login pages of sites like Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook or anyone else. The victim is fooled to believe that the fake page is the the real one and enter his/her password. At once the user attempts to login through these pages, his/her account login information are stolen away and stored in a text file.

How to do it?

1. First of all download LinkedIn Phisher at here.
2. Now extract all files and upload them to any web hosting site like www.my3gb.com, www.110mb.com etc..
3. Once you uploaded that, now send the url of index.html file to your friend or victim and ask them to login/try it.
4. When he/she goes through it, all his/her login information are stolen way and stored in a text file at your web hosting site like passwords.txt
5. All Done! Now do what you want to do with his/her account.

2. Keylogging- Keylogging is one of the easiest method to hack someone accounts with the help of keyloggers like sniper-spy, winspy and many more. All you have to install that keylogger physically or remotely into your victims computer. Now when the person is going to open his/her account in any website, its usernames, passwords and all keystrokes type by him will be stored by the keylogger and we get all the information that we needed to hack his/her account.

5. Social Engineering- This sounds very good, but I guess majority of people didn’t aware of it. For newbies, social engineering is method of retrieving password or the answer of security question simply by querying him (your victim). You have to be very careful while using this method as victim must not be aware of your intention. Just ask him cautiously using your logic and way.

6. Primary Email Address hack- Primary Email Address hack means that you have hacked his Gmail account login information and now you gonna reset his password by telling LinkedIn that you have forgotten your password. Hence LinkedIn will send the user password to his Gmail email ID which you have already hacked it, once you received that email, reset it with your new password and enjoy hacking of your victims LinkedIn account. In this case, I am assuming that the persons primary Email ID is on Gmail.

That’s it!
