Normally we use GET rather than POST, because of password exposing case in the address bar. But I have heard that it can be hacked although we use the POST method. How to do that?

for sensitive data posted, you can use HTTPS(HTTP+SSL) way or encrypt data to avoid got by the third party.

One can install a sniffer in the network between the both machines and read all sent/received bytes. In for example a proxy, firewall, router or even your own machine. SSL encrypts those bytes before sending and decrypts them before reading.
