JAN 07 (WTN) - You must be using a smartphone in this era of technology. On the other hand, if you use a smartphone, then you must be using WhatsApp on your smartphone. For your information, let us know that WhatsApp is currently the most popular instant messaging app in the whole world. Many other features, including end-to-end encryption, make WhatsApp popular among users. As we told you that WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app in the whole world, in such a situation, WhatsApp users have always been on the target of hackers.
For your information, let us know that by sending a new year's fake message on WhatsApp, fraudsters are trying to empty the bank account of the users. Actually, hackers are making their prey by attacking the users' phone with 'New Year's Virus' messages for the New Year. If you also have such a message on WhatsApp, then you should be careful, because, in such a message, users are asked to click on a link to avail the offer.
As soon as you click on such a link, a fake website opens on your screen, which looks like a real website. As soon as you click on such a link, the risk of your phone getting hacked increases greatly. Many types of ads appear with links, or after opening links, which are asked to subscribe to the users. To subscribe, users are asked for their personal details. Actually, let us know that such fake messages mostly contain messages related to greetings, which cannot be seen without clicking.
It is not that such fake websites and messages with links have gone viral on WhatsApp first time, in which fraudsters are targeting users. For your information, let us know that similar fake messages have become viral on WhatsApp many times in the year 2018 when users were given many kinds of greed. Last year, a message went viral on WhatsApp, in which the message of giving Adidas shoes for free was said in the message.
Not only this, but hackers send a message on WhatsApp by resorting to fake offers during the festivals also. In this kind of fake message, fake messages of Amazon and Flipkart sale offers are sent, and a fake link is also given. So we advise you that if any such link comes on WhatsApp, in which you are offered a prize and/or lottery, then we advise you not to click on any such link. On the other hand, if you clicked on the link, then any information would be asked from you in any way, then do not give that information to anyone.
