We need to be more vigilant

[Callido]

It's quite concerning that scamming gets updated everyday, after thinking that the systems are over people sit down to think of another one to defraud people..if they can spend hours to think of such brainstorming things why can't they just do something legal? Well, the system has really corrupted the minds of people, they feel like success can't be achieved legally... downloading images from sites you are not sure of is very risky and one another thing people should be careful of are the ads that pops up saying they should click and claim their prize, if you go on with the process of that you might get hacked.

With the increase in scam rate, we have no option but to go back to the stone age, it is irrelevant/unrelatable as many of us has never been a victim. Scammers are upgrading if we don't follow their part to be like them in updating what we know about privacy and how to avoid scam attempts, we will be a subject of attack for them once they notice. There is no limit scammers don't operate even in what we see as the most irrelevant opportunity, these guys are ready to make use of it. We need to be vigilant as all we do is mostly online or socially exposing us to risks.

Hackers are not only making hacks, they are now building upon old hack and and coming up with new and more better way to reap people off their savings stored digitally. I always advice friends and family to avoided clicking random links no matter how it looks, even if it's a bit churchy, I don't care except it's from a trusted person. But what get me overly annoyed are online site that redirect users to different website without their consent, and majority of these redirected site are either pornographic platforms, betting sites or any random dating site which could be a scam platform without you knowing. However we should be careful with the Internet and some useful information, storing passwords to your cloud is not a good storage medium as it could get hacked.

I guess this is a message and warning alert to those people who usually downloads images anyhow from Telegram and Whatsapp groups, because I literally can't think when last I downloaded any image from a totally unknown Telegram or Whatsapp group. Because the other groups I I'm currently are my business groups, and nothing more, knowing fully well how scammers have try to update their skill to steals people's money, despite people getting sensitive daily about the risk of scamming activities. But however, it was a pleasure sharing such useful information by you O.P

Our safety is the most important thing we should think about when using the web because if anything happens to our account that will be all for us .
Using or downloading from an unauthorized web or apps exposes us to dangers of malware and virus  attack, which can't be replaced when being attacked or causes a lot of damages to our system or our accounts, also scammers uses these unauthorized webs to scam and hack your account, therefore your safety and security measures is very important also needs to put precautionary measures into place  into if you really want to be successful .

Download whatever apps that you want from the official site and stop using the same phone that you are using for your crypto related stuff and for surfing the internet in order to avoid any mistakes of falling victim to malware attacks. I don't share app with people to avoid story that touches.

Even apps from official stores sometimes exhibit these fraudulent acts, some contain spy cats that uses optical character recognition to scan your gallery and attempt stealing seed phrase stored as a screenshot or saved as an Image and share it with their creator.

The best solution is to limit the apps we install on our phone or like you rightly said, you can have a separate phone or laptop explicitly for your wallets and banking apps in order to further improve security on a personal level.

Another way to prevent data breach is by denying remote access to online meeting participants in apps like Zoom, Meet, e.t.c since it has been proven that remote access to your PC can be achieved through remote meetings on these platforms.

Telegram and Whatsapp are major platforms for these imposters to target their preys. Then, the market is volatile and we should also know our stands in the system. Becoming more vigilant, we need to abide by disciplinary rules and keep basic settings for ourselves. Why stumble upon application from unknown sites? Even though they're ads, I don't share any prospect idea of imploding data, rather I make my own crucial research and become more successful in our dealings.

Hacking all depends on the messaging point of contact as in where exactly you are chatting with the stranger. The stranger might come as a business associates in your mailbox, a hookup agent sending you her sexy picture inform of a blur image for you to click and view properly, a p2p trader messaging you on a p2p message point by sending you link of proof of payment where you need to click, download and view the screenshot, so many of point of messaging center. It matters a lot.

You just have to know this and be extra careful to not click and download any link sent from who you aren't aware of his business relationship, you just have to be sure of the the person you are dealing with before you have to download whatever.

Yes...we truly need to be more vigilant because it will be so painful to lose all you have labored under two seconds...

We also need to know the kind of people we should trust especially when it has to do with giving out our phone.... either to repair, charge etc.

Security is everybody's business so we need to take it very seriously...
