The Secret Backdoor Hackers Use to Access Your Accounts



Account Security Summary

Short Summary

The video discusses the risks associated with using third-party login services, such as Google, Microsoft, or Facebook, for accessing various websites. It highlights how a hacker could exploit these connections to gain unauthorized access to a user’s account even without knowing their username or password.

Key Points

  • Third-party logins allow users to access sites without direct username and password entry.
  • A hacker can create a new Google account and connect it to a user’s existing account, enabling ongoing access.
  • Changing passwords alone may not suffice; users need to check all connected services and alternate logins.
  • Some sites may offer API key generation, which can also be exploited for unauthorized access.
  • The potential exists for a “ghost login” that could persist for years, even after password changes.
