What do you get when you say 'Jesus' and 'I got hacked' on Facebook?

You will get hacked again, that's what. 

Bots are scraping and monitoring Facebook posts everywhere, all the time. I know a thing or two about it, for, well, reasons. But too lazy today to type out a long post and explanations. 

I just want to draw the reader's attention to an important point: Religious people are being targeted extra-hard by hackers. Even religious hackers do it. Why?

Studies proved that religious people are far more gullible (willing to believe claims without evidence), and that their passwords are generally weaker, and that they are easier prey for scams, than us healthy of mind, sane atheists. 

If you should make a post on Facebook saying you got hacked, maybe one or two bots will post replies in the comment section, offering help. But add a religious word or two in there, and an armada of bots will burn through the pixels rushing to offer help. 

Someone in distress doesn't always think logically, especially when half the brain was damaged by godsnot beliefs already.

Bots are coded to scan for certain keywords, or rather, key phrases these days. And when it finds it, to then perform an action. When a post by a victim contains 'hacked' and a religious word like 'amen' or Jesus or some other fable term, the hacker knows the likelihood of hacking the victim all over, and more extensively, increases dramatically.

I came across a great example today, as you can see from the cover photo. In the comments section, one comment after the other, several bots from various hackers offered to help. It happened within five minutes after Bardo made his post that his Instagram gotten hacked. 

Believe me, the hackers behind that bot does not want to help you or Bardo. 

Many hackers target specifically Instagram accounts, because young horny girls upload raunchy photos privately there. A hacker aims to breach such accounts, then upload the photos to paid porn sites, or to blackmail the girl with it. But men are targets too, even when not having naughty photos on there. 

Hacking an Instagram account often acts as the first step, to get to the actual bigger goal, when a hacker targets a specific individual. After the target's Instagram is hacked, it is common for the victim to post about it online. That's when the helpful Samaritan shows up, concealed among the offers from other hackers too.

Several hackers then aim to get the victim to provide his passwords for his other accounts, like his email or Facebook, to make the attack vector bigger in order to escalate the attack. The ultimate goal can vary, at one stage all the hype was about owning the person's Twitter account, that was the final goal. But it can be to get into his bank account, or his crypto wallet, or even to target his friends. 

I did not know that Bardo is religious, till I saw this post of him. What I found concerning is that he apparently fell for the one hacker's bot in the comments section. The bot would have then send a message to the hacker, because Bardo replied, with the hacker himself then replying, knowing he has a potential victim on the hook. 

Look at the names of all the FB accounts at their respective comments, on the screenshots I'll pop below. Some looks outright fishy, others very believable. 

Anyway, moral of the story: Never accept any help from any such unknown hacker, instead, flag their comments as scam so that FB can remove it. Google how to recover a hacked account, and follow the steps laid out in articles written by professionals. 

 Ask yourself: Why would a black hat (an unethical hacker using his skill to commit crime) accept a hundred euros from you payment, when he can rather empty your bank account now or in future? Or take out a loan using your identity? Or commit bigger crimes, using your identity.

There's a vastly more worrying trend developing, as expected, too: Automated chatbots with artificial intelligence behind it, and hackers using it. Basically, this is putting hacking on autopilot, with the hacker only stepping in during the final phases after his bot sifted through hundreds, even thousands of potential victims. 

I have seen some of these AI-powered chatbots in action, and it's mind-blowing how realistic they come across. The average human simply isn't able to pick up that he is talking to such a script only. With social engineering being the most effective way for many hackers to hit a target lights-out, AI chatbots are adding an astonishingly big danger to all users. 

So, below are all the comments as it was posted in the comments section of Bardo Snyman's post. All of it but mine, bots.
