Tips to avoid being a victim of a hijack profile scam

 

The Philippine National Police – Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) has issued a number of tricks to keep away from falling sufferer to the hijack profile rip-off, in keeping with a report on “State of the Nation.”

The “hijack profile scam” happens when there’s an unauthorized entry to a social media account and this often occurs to some customers of Facebook, which is well-liked amongst Filipinos.

Social media customers are suggested to do the next:

  • Don’t simply click on hyperlinks in social media
  • Don’t simply obtain attachments, particularly when these are from strangers
  • Use a powerful and distinctive password, so it’s not simple to hack your account
  • Use multi-factor authentification for all on-line accounts
  • Immediately report hacking incidents to the PNP-Anti-Cybercrime Group
