How to Hack a Yahoo Mail Password

Someone you know has a Yahoo account.. and you want the password. Whether you don’t trust your spouse or just looking to do some justice, i’m sure you have your reasons. Yahoo mail is estimated as the world’s largest email provider, and in February, 2008, a Yahoo executive claimed the company served 260 million email users which is very close to Hotmail’s numbers. With that many accounts, there is clearly a demand for hacking into these accounts. I don’t condone anything illegal, but I do believe that information should be freely available on the internet, no matter the subject, and that there are many situations and good reasons for doing so. I leave that up to you to decide.

When it comes to hacking email passwords like Yahoo, there are 2 foolproof methods to do it. Spying and Phishing. They are both methods of social engineering, or in other words, the target unknowingly gives you their password. The only people that know the password are Yahoo and the target themselves, so who do you think it is easier to get from? While there are other ways to hack a yahoo password, the odds are so low it’s not even funny. If you want to know more about the other non-realistic ways to hack password and why they don’t work, read The Truth about Password Hacking/Cracking.

So, here is how you hack yahoo:
Spying (cost money)

Almost everyone logs into their yahoo account through a computer, usually their own. That means one of the people that DOES know the password is the computer it’s being entered on, but of course this information is not remembered by the computer unless Spy Software has snuck onto it. Getting spy software onto the computer is easy, especially if you have physical access to it. Can you count how many times your computer has gotten a virus or suspicious email? It’s the same thing.

So what’s the best spy software to use?

If you have physical access to the computer, you are practically guaranteed the password. A good program is completely stealthy with a host of features, which I recommend you get AceSpy. It’s an advanced spy software mainly for monitoring your kids or employees silently and discreetly. There are also some free keyloggers out there, but I was unable to find one that was stealthy and they are really feature limited. AceSpy has a host of features such as websites visited, instant messenger chat logs, email recording, and even stores screenshots and a unique surveillance mode feature which records a movie of their actions. This can often be better than just having the Yahoo mail password, as deleted emails and other information can be recovered from the screenshots when you otherwise couldn’t.

If you need to hack someone remotely via the internet, there’s a program from the same company called SniperSpy. The difference between the programs, and this is the really great thing, is that SniperSpy is remotely deployable. That means that you can send it’s module via email or file transfer and it will begin monitoring their computer! All of the data it gathers is stored online and can be accessed via their website which means you won’t have to worry about software that doesn’t install on your computer for some reason – all you need is a web browser and the internet to access the Spy Control Panel. This is the program I used on my girlfriend and I was able to get proof of what I suspected. It’s got the same features as AceSpy plus a ton more, and is so stealthy it bypasses firewalls and antivirus because it’s a commercial product.
Phishing (Fake Login Pages)

Phishing is mostly used on a wider scale to target a large amount of yahoo accounts. For example, the most common way of phishing is done by email where the target receives an email message that appears to have come from Yahoo themselves (it’s actually very easy to forge an email sender). In the message, there is always a story of an issue with your account and it asking you to verify your account at the link below – this is where the hacking happens. The person thinks the link is taking them to the official yahoo website, but most people don’t notice the URL is slightly or even completely different. The target is taken to a yahoo login page that looks authentic, and as soon as they enter their details and hit submit, the password is known to the hacker. Phishing is not legal in any circumstance because you are impersonating yahoo and copywriting their page by creating a fake login, but there is literally no enforcement of this and I know of no one being arrested or getting in trouble (if you do, feel free to comment). It is also limited to only giving you the password (unlike spying) and it is meant for those with above average computer skills to setup. If you are interested in doing it this way

How to Hack a Facebook Account

A lot of people contact me about suspecting their boyfriend/girlfriend of cheating, but they are on Facebook and ask why I haven’t written a guide for hacking Facebook passwords. Well, the reason why is because the same hacking methods apply that i’ve already written about for MySpace.

After doing thorough research on facebook hacking though I have found 1 more method, and I can a tell you that there are now 3 methods to hack facebook passwords:


Spy Software
(requires money, but easy and works everytime)

Spy software is basically a tool that can be used to spy on everything a person does on their computer. From what sites they visit to capturing the password they use for facebook (and other sites), spy software is by far the #1 and most effective way to hack someones facebook password.

There are many companies that sell spy software, but the the problem with most of them is the law and “ethics” that force them into including warnings in the spy software that notify the user they are being monitored. This is great for employers or parents, but for those that want to be sneaky and hack the facebook password you need a remote monitoring solution. If you are looking for a product that will NOT warn the person they are being spyed on, check out SniperSpy. Getting it installed on the person’s computer is pretty easy, and to view what information the software has captured you need only log into their website. A HUGE advantage to spy software vs just hacking the facebook password is that spy software will take screenshots and capture data, so that if the person you want to hack is deleting their facebook messages.. you will be able to view them in sniperspy’s screenshot logs. As I mentioned in my previous MySpace hacking article.. I have used SniperSpy to catch my girlfriend and it saved me from almost/possibly getting an STD.. not joking. I highly recommend it, and have done a full review on it here.

If you live with the person you want to hack, you probably don’t need SniperSpy since you have access to their computer. In this case you might check out KeyProwler which supports a lot of the same features, but without the need to pay a subscription. If you have frequent access to the computer you want to monitor so that you can check the logs for the facebook password, it might be a better choice.


Phishing
(free, but more difficult and technical)

If you’ve been on facebook long enough, you’ve seen your friends making weird status updates or wall posts that you know they wouldn’t make such as “hey i just won $100 check out this site www.somescam.com”. It happens to your friends because hacking accounts can make spammers a lot of money, and it happened because of Phishing. Phishing is basically the process of tricking someone into entering their private information into a FAKE facebook login page, and this is how it usually works: the victim is sent an email that appears to be from facebook (yes, this can be easily done) and the message contains a call to action such as “Your account needs to be activated or it will be suspended!!!” along with a link to activate your account which actually goes to a fake login page (setup by the hacker) that looks identical to facebook. Due to many peoples ignorance to how authentic looking and convincing these “phishing” messages can be, people often click the links and enter their login details without thinking, and now a spammer/hacker has them for his purposes which is usually hacking more accounts – after all, you trust your friends, don’t you? ;)

If you would like to learn how to do this yourself, I am all about education and have created very detailed phishing instructions along with a fake login page creator tool. It comes with a free way to send an anonymous email that looks like it came from facebook, where to sign up for free hosting for your fake login page, and everything else needed to phish someone’s password.

Mobile phone spying (iPhone, Android, Blackberry)

Mobile spy software! It’s been around for years, but only on some phones that most people didn’t have. Then the iPhone was born and changed everything causing the smartphone to become ‘cool’, and then a wave of android phones followed such as the Droid, Evo, Incredible, etc (theres like 20 phones now). Even I myself have a smartphone capable of running spy software now (HTC Evo from sprint), but just last year I had a motorola razr which could not run such sophisticated software. While monitoring a phone of course has the advantage of spying on text messages and phone calls, were here to talk about facebook and how to hack facebook passwords. Getting the spy software installed on a phone without physically handling it is almost impossible, so if you think you can hack a phone over the internet – not yet, because any program that is installed on the phone must be done manually. There are only two products that work on both iPhone and android phones – they are Mobile Spy and MobiStealth and you can read my detailed review of them both in my other article Top 3 Apps for Spying on Text Messages and Call History.
Conclusion

The huge advantage of computer spy software over other methods is that instead of only getting the facebook password, you can get passwords to all different kinds of sites, chat logs, and most importantly SCREENSHOTS. For example, say they are deleting their inbox messages from facebook (which happens alot with paranoid spouses) – normally you would have no idea or anyway to recover them with just their password, but sniperspy will have recorded what the screen looked like when they were browsing their inbox so that you can look at the picture and read the message.

Phishing, while the most popular method to hack someones facebook, is highly technical and relies heavily on tricking the person. It is mainly used on a mass scale and not for targeting specific people because of it’s low success rate – the success rate depends highly of course on the intelligence of the person and how believable your “phish” is.

Finally, mobile spying is about as effective as computer spying (once installed), but the fact is that not everyone has a cell phone that will run spy software. Thats right, not everyone has a cool iPhone, Droid, or Evo yet. But because these phones are so cool, they make for a great gift that you can preinstall the spy app on and then have full access to whoever you give it to.
