A common attack is Wi-Fi traffic monitoring, where a hacker uses a simple application that can easily be downloaded from the internet for free to watch all traffic on a public Wi-Fi network. Once you enter your username and password, the software notifies them and the hacker intercepts the information. It only takes a few more minutes to use a program like the one above to try other sites you may have used the same password and login combination on. Pretty soon, they've got access to a whole swath of your information and it's only a matter of time for them to get the rest.

3. Keyloggers

Keylogger resides in your system memory and runs at every startup. These keyloggers log all the keystrokes you type. A log is created and then it is sent to the Hacker. Most famous keylogger is the Ardamax Keylogger. It can be customized so that it cannot be shown in Processes.

4. Tab Nabbing

Where a hacker will send a login page of Gmail or Facebook and it will look exactly the same as real Facebook login page. Most of the time they use Social engineering skills like, they will send message saying "This person has posted your bad picture on Facebook, click here to check your photo", and once you click on the link, you will be taken to login page, as soon as you enter your password, it will be sent to hacker, and your page will reload to take you to the real page.

Turkojan is a famous Trojan horse. A trojan is much more superior to keyloggers and RATs. It provides much more functions, so that a Hacker has more access to your PC.
