Have you ever wondered how cybercriminals hack email passwords? At some point, you may have wondered how to hack email accounts just for the sake of preventing your account from getting hacked. There are several techniques that you can explore to hack the password of an email account. No email account is immune to hacking. Here are some practical ways of hacking email accounts.

1. Keylogging

Arguably, this is the easiest option for most people who want to learn how to hack email passwords. Keylogging entails recording every keystroke that is typed in by a user on a computer keyboard. You can do so using a spy program known as a Keylogger.
You dont need special skills to install the program on a computer. Keyloggers also operate in stealth mode, something that makes them hard to detect once installed. If you dont have physical access to a target computer, theres no need to worry because some keyloggers offer remote installation.
Keylogging is arguably the most straightforward hacking technique that hackers use to steal sensitive information from victims. Besides email hacking, Keylogging can be used to spy on your targets text messages, phone calls, and other passwords.

2. Phishing

This is a more complicated email hacking technique compared to Keylogging. Phishing entails the use of spoofed webpages that are designed to be identical to those of legitimate websites. When carrying out this social engineering hacking technique, phishers typically create fake login pages that resemble Gmail, Yahoo, or other email service providers. Once you attempt to enter your login credentials on the fake login pages, hackers will be able to steal the information right away.
Similarly, phishers can send an email that resembles what Google or Yahoo typically send. Often, such emails contain links to fake login pages, requesting you to update your email account information or change the password. An online persona of someone you know can also be created and used to hoodwink you into providing your email login credentials. To successfully execute a phishing attack, one needs considerable hacking knowledge with prior experience in HTML, scripting languages such as PHP/JSP, and CSS.
In most jurisdictions, phishing is considered a criminal offense. Unfortunately, enabling two-factor authentication for your email accounts cant help. Therefore you should be vigilant before giving out your email login credentials. Double-check the web address from where the email is emanating before providing your details. If you didnt request a password change in the first place, ignore suspicious emails that ask you to change the password.
Password Guessing and Resetting
This is another social engineering technique used by email hackers. If you are learning how to hack email accounts, you shouldnt worry about the password guessing/resetting technique. Its easier to use this technique to access the mailboxes of people whom you know than strangers. The procedure involves manipulating the target victims mind to try and figure out his/her personal information.
Password guessing and resetting require impeccable thinking power and social skills, thus the need to know the intended victim considerably well. Often, hackers who use this technique are close family members, friends, or colleagues. Such individuals have considerable knowledge about you, including your hobbies, birthdate, and other personal details. Therefore, its easier for them to figure out your email password, and in particular, the security question.

Myths About How to Hack Email Accounts

In your quest to learn how to hack email passwords, there are several things that you should keep in mind. Lots of websites misguide readers on email hacking techniques. There isnt a ready-made program for hacking email accounts, except the keylogger. Therefore, you should be wary of websites that purport to sell programs that can help you hack someone elses email account.

Likewise, you should keep off websites that claim to sell tutorials that can teach you how to hack email passwords. You may even be surprised to learn that some of these websites ask you to provide your email address. This is the precursor to most email hacking incidents. It would be tragic for you to lose your email account in an attempt to hack someone elses account.

Not everyone who learns how to hack passwords intends to be a cybercriminal. This is a skill worth learning since it puts you in a better position to secure your email account. Email hacking is also a must-have skill for those who want to become ethical hackers. When learning how to hack emails, you shouldnt forget about securing your own.
