If you or your family members are using Whatsapp then you need to read this topic. There is a message that is being circulated using Whatsapp. It will come from an unknown number with controversial text. One of my friends had recently received such a message. I am sharing the screenshot here.



If you download this message then the possibilities are that your smartphone will get hacked as it contains malware. The message varies and is targeted to make the reader curious. In most cases, these hackers are using news that went viral.

If you receive such a message then report and block the number. They are sending an SMS with a questionable link and the text would look as if your bank has sent you the message.

It's so funny to see that these hackers would use any way to push malware into your phones. But i think these days it's pretty easy to push any such things into your device. This is just one easy to spot instance, creating a fake sms is the easiest way. I think if you haven't been subject to phishing these days it's just because you are lucky not to encounter it so far, no one can be aware enough to smartly ignore it.

Telegram, WhatsApp and other platforms are full of scammers. If you don't know the person sending you a message then block that person. Never believe in those messages as they are fake. If you have any doubt then search for source to authenticate the message.

It is another example of how easy it has become for scammer in manipulating your mind and then getting the desired results. I am pretty sure many have fallen for this trap.
