(i) Hacking is the term for stealing of required information by seeking a weakness in a computer.
(ii) Yamini's account experienced unauthorized access and was likely hacked. The hacker posted spam content and stories on her account without her consent.
(iii) The people who are involved in the cyber crime are called Hackers. They try to gain unauthorized access to computer systems or networks with the intent to exploit, manipulate, or steal information. In this scenario, the hacker gained access to Yamini's social media account and posted spam content.
(iv) Two methods to prevent hacking are:
- We should create complex and unique passwords for the accounts, incorporating a mix of letters, numbers and special characters.
- We should enable Two Factor Authentication. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a code sent to the mobile device, in addition to the password.
