UMikhal Marek U-Mat Honan, owayengumhleli wewebhusayithi ye-Gizmodo, waba yisisulu somgebengu futhi ngesikhashana nje umhlaba wakhe we-cyber wavele wawa. Isigebengu sithole i-akhawunti ye-Google ka-Honan wabe eseyisusa. Kodwa-ke, izinkinga zika-Honan zazisekude ukuphela kule akhawunti. I-hacker iphinde yasebenzisa kabi i-Twitter ka- Honan, futhi i-akhawunti yalo mhleli wangaphambili yaba inkundla yezinkulumo zokucwasa nokucwasa abantu abathandana nabobulili obufanayo usuku nosuku. Kodwa-ke, uMat Honan wabhekana nezikhathi ezimbi kakhulu lapho ethola ukuthi i-ID yakhe ye-Apple nayo itholakele futhi yonke idatha evela ku-MacBook yakhe, i-iPad ne-iPhone yayisusiwe ukude.
Ikakhulukazi kwakuyiphutha lami, futhi ngenza umsebenzi wabaduni waba lula kakhulu. Sibe nawo wonke ama-akhawunti ashiwo axhumene eduze. I-hacker ithole ulwazi oludingekayo ku-akhawunti yami ye-Amazon ukuze ifinyelele i-ID yami ye-Apple. Ngakho wakwazi ukufinyelela idatha eyengeziwe, okwaholela ekufinyeleleni ku-Gmail yami kanye ne-Twitter. Ukube bengivikele kangcono i-akhawunti yami ye-Google, imiphumela ibingeke ibe kanje, futhi ukube bengihlale ngisekela idatha yami ye-MacBook, yonke le nto ibingeke ibe buhlungu kangako. Ngeshwa, ngilahlekelwe amathani ezithombe zonyaka wokuqala wendodakazi yami, iminyaka engu-8 yezincwadi ze-imeyili, kanye nenqwaba yamadokhumenti angalondoloziwe. Ngiyazisola ngalawa maphutha ami... Nokho, ingxenye enkulu yecala ilele ohlelweni lokuphepha olwanele lwe-Apple ne-Amazon.
Sekukonke, u-Mat Honan ubona inkinga enkulu ngenkambiso yamanje yokugcina idatha yakho eminingi efwini esikhundleni se-hard drive yakho. I-Apple izama ukuthola iphesenti elikhulu kunawo wonke labasebenzisi bayo ukuthi basebenzise i-iCloud, i-Google idala isistimu yokusebenza yamafu, futhi mhlawumbe uhlelo olusebenza kakhulu lwesikhathi esizayo esiseduze, iWindows 8, ihlose ukuya nakulokhu. Uma izinyathelo zokuphepha ezivikela idatha yomsebenzisi zingashintshwa kakhulu, izigebengu ze-inthanethi zizoba nomsebenzi olula ngendlela emangalisayo. Isistimu ephelelwe yisikhathi yamaphasiwedi alula ukuwaqhekeza ngeke isanele.
Ngithole ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle ngehora lesihlanu ntambama. I-iPhone yami yacisha futhi lapho ngiyivula, ibhokisi elivela lapho idivayisi entsha iqalwa kabusha. Bengicabanga ukuthi i-software bug futhi ngingakhathazeki ngoba ngigcina i-iPhone yami njalo ebusuku. Nokho, ngenqatshelwe ukufinyelela kukhophi yasenqolobaneni. Ngakho-ke ngaxhuma i-iPhone kukhompyutha yami ephathekayo futhi ngokushesha ngathola ukuthi i-Gmail yami nayo inqatshiwe. Ngemuva kwalokho imonitha yaba mpunga futhi ngacelwa i-PIN enamadijithi amane. Kodwa angisebenzisi noma iyiphi i-PIN enamadijithi amane ku-MacBook Kuleli qophelo, ngabona ukuthi kunento embi ngempela eyenzekile, futhi ngokokuqala ngqá ngacabanga ngamathuba okuhlasela kwama-hacker. Nginqume ukushayela i-AppleCare. Ngithole namuhla ukuthi angiyena umuntu wokuqala ukushayela lo mugqa mayelana ne-ID yami ye-Apple. Umsebenzisi ubemanqikanqika ukunginika noma yiluphi ulwazi mayelana nocingo lwangaphambilini futhi ngachitha ihora nesigamu ocingweni.
Umuntu othi ulahlekelwe ukufinyelela ocingweni lwakhe ushayele usekelo lwamakhasimende akwa-Apple @mina.com i-imeyili. Lokho imeyili kwaba Yiqiniso, Mata Honan sika. Umsebenzisi ukhiqize iphasiwedi entsha yofonayo futhi akazange akhathazeke neqiniso lokuthi umkhohlisi akakwazanga ukuphendula umbuzo womuntu siqu owufake u-Honan ku-ID yakhe ye-Apple. Ngemva kokuthola i-ID ye-Apple, akukho lutho oluvimbe isigebengu se-inthanethi ekusebenziseni i-Find my * application ukususa yonke idatha ku-iPhone, iPad ne-MacBook ka Honan. Kodwa kungani futhi kanjani i-hacker empeleni yakwenza?
Omunye wabahlaseli wathintana nomhleli wangaphambili we-Gizmodo ngokwakhe futhi ekugcineni wamtshela ukuthi konke ukuhlukumeza nge-cyber kwenzeka kanjani. Eqinisweni, bekuwukuhlola nje kwasekuqaleni, ngenhloso yokusebenzisa i-Twitter yanoma ibuphi ubuntu obaziwayo nokukhomba amaphutha okuphepha e-inthanethi yamanje. UMat Honan kuthiwa ukhethwe ngokungahleliwe futhi kwakungeyona into yomuntu siqu noma eyayihlosiwe ngaphambili. I hacker, kamuva sikhonjwe ngokuthi Phobia, akazange ahlele ukuhlasela Apple ID Honan sika nhlobo futhi bagcina besebenzisa yona kuphela ngenxa yentuthuko evumayo izimo. Phobia kuthiwa ngisho wabonisa ukuzisola okuthile phezu ukulahlekelwa idatha yomuntu siqu Honan sika, ezifana izithombe okukhulunywe ngaye ngenhla indodakazi yakhe esakhula.
I-hacker iqale yathola ikheli le-gmail lika Honan. Yebo, akuthathi ngisho imizuzu emihlanu ukuthola i-e-mail yomuntu owaziwayo. Lapho uPhobia efika ekhasini lokuthola kabusha iphasiwedi elahlekile ku-Gmail, waphinde wathola enye indlela ka-Honan @mina.com ikheli. Futhi lesi bekuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokuthola i-ID ye-Apple. UPhobia ushayele i-AppleCare futhi wabika iphasiwedi elahlekile.
Ukuze u-opharetha osekela ikhasimende akhiqize iphasiwedi entsha, okumele ukwenze nje ukubatshela ulwazi olulandelayo: ikheli le-imeyili elihlobene ne-akhawunti, izinombolo ezine zokugcina zekhadi lakho lesikweletu, kanye nekheli elifakwe ngesikhathi ubhalisele iCloud. Ayikho inkinga nge-imeyili noma ngekheli. Okuwukuphela kwesithiyo esinzima kumgebenga ukuthola lezo zinombolo zamakhadi esikweletu amane. I-Phobia inqobe lo mgodi ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezokuphepha kwe-Amazon. Okwakufanele akwenze kwakuwukufonela abasekeli bamakhasimende balesi sitolo se-inthanethi futhi acele ukwengeza ikhadi elisha lokukhokha ku-akhawunti yakhe ye-Amazon. Kulesi sinyathelo, udinga kuphela ukuhlinzeka ngekheli lakho leposi kanye ne-imeyili, okuyidatha etholakala kalula. Wabe eseshayela i-Amazon futhi wacela ukuthi kwenziwe igama-mfihlo elisha. Manje, yiqiniso, wayeseyazi kakade ulwazi lwesithathu oludingekayo - inombolo yekhadi lokukhokha. Ngemva kwalokho, kwanele ukuhlola umlando wezinguquko zedatha ku-akhawunti ye-Amazon, futhi i-Phobia iphinde yathola inombolo yekhadi lokukhokha langempela lika- Honan.
Ngokuthola ukufinyelela ku-ID ye-Apple ka-Honan, i-Phobia ikwazile ukusula idatha kuwo wonke amadivayisi we-Apple we-Honan kuyilapho ithola elinye ikheli le-imeyili elidingekayo ukuze ufinyelele i-Gmail. Nge-akhawunti ye-Gmail, ukuhlasela okuhleliwe ku-Twitter ka-Honan kwakungaseyona inkinga.
Wawa kanje umhlaba wedijithali womuntu oyedwa okhethwe ngokungahleliwe. Masijabule nje ukuthi into efana nalena yenzeke kumuntu odumile futhi lonke udaba lwafiphala ngokushesha ku-inthanethi. Ukuphendula lesi sigameko, bobabili i-Apple ne-Amazon bashintshe izindlela zabo zokuphepha, futhi singalala kancane ngokuthula.
Kwakungeyona ngisho i-hacker, akunjalo?
Ucabanga ukuthi iyini i-Hacker? :D Leli elinye lamagatsha asebenza kahle kakhulu futhi athuthukile wokugebenga. Igama elithi ukugebenga lisho ukudlula kwezinye izithiyo zokuphepha ukuze uthole ubunikazi bedatha noma uyifinyelele. Izinsizakalo zekhompiyutha azizona nje lezi kanye nama-zero, kodwa futhi nabantu abalawula labo kanye nama-zero futhi bayingxenye yalokho kuphepha. Ingaphulwa kokubili ngokobuchwepheshe (okuvame ukufuna kakhulu, ngoba kufanele ubheke iphutha emsebenzini wesistimu kanjalo) noma emphakathini, lapho ubheka iphutha ezinqubweni zokusebenza kwesevisi. Lona uhlobo lwenhlalo, lapho sithola khona igama lemboni yokugebenga "i-social engineering".
Uma othile entshontsha idatha kukhompuyutha yakho, akunandaba ukuthi bagqekeza endlini yakho, vumela unkosikazi wakho akuthumele (ubunjiniyela bezenhlalo bushiwo :D ), noma bagebenge ikhompyutha yakho :o) kusewukuhlasela ubumfihlo bakho :o )
Ngakho-ke ubunjiniyela bezenhlalo
yebo :o)
Ngizoba nentshisekelo enkulu yokuthi baziguqule kanjani izindlela zabo zokuphepha...
Ngicabanga nje ukuthi idatha yakhe ayilahlekele, isibonelo izithombe ezishiwo noma ama-imeyili, isekhona. Uma ususa okuthile efwini, ngiyangabaza ukuthi kususiwe empeleni, kunalokho okunye okususiwe=okuyiqiniso kusethiwe :-)
Futhi-ke, ngoba u-Honan ngeke esakwazi ukufinyelela kuleyo datha.
I-OMG, ukube bekuwukuhlola nje, ubengakwazi okungenani ukubuyisela lezo zinto kukhophi yasenqolobaneni. Kodwa ngingambulala lowo mgebengu ngokumamatheka okukhulu. Kodwa yini heck, qala nje umhlaba wedijithali kusukela ekuqaleni.
