Most hacks don't start with code. They start with a fake email that looks exactly like your bank, a phone call from someone pretending to be IT, or a free download that installs something you never asked for. The technical exploits come after — and some of them are so simple it's embarrassing how well they still work.
Twelve hacking techniques from the ones that require zero technical skill to the ones governments pay millions of dollars for. A fake login page that takes five minutes to build and still fools millions. An attack where the hacker sits invisibly between you and your bank on coffee shop Wi-Fi. A single line typed into a login box that gives full access to an entire database. Code hidden inside a normal website comment that runs automatically in every visitor's browser. And a vulnerability so valuable that the developer doesn't even know it exists yet — because the hacker found it first.
