Social networks are always great for communicative people; they make you
closer to your friends, relatives and hackers. Social networks are very
attractive for such kind of people. You can ask me: “Why do they need
that?” All they need is your account. The fraud schemes may be
different. But the main aim of them is money. They can ask your
relatives for help, especially when you’re far away. Why shouldn’t they
believe their own child, when he needs money?
Fraudsters do not disdain playing on the heartstrings. They can write everything, that there’s an accident, you’re in a hospital, etc. So today we’ll study to confront fraudsters and keep our nerves and money safe.
Consequences
The second thing is the photos. When you’re downloading images and
photos on social networks not only your friends like them. It’s also the
perfect resource for burglars. From home-made photos, they can receive
information about your welfare and house structure. When you have a dog,
the robber will be prepared, because everyone has photos with their
home pets. That’s why we earnestly advise you not to put in the Internet
photos of your house, and some things that can attract robbers, for
instance your new car or a brilliant ring.
Advice
The next our advice – create a complicated password. We’ve just
discussed what fraudsters can do with the access to your account, so try
to protect yourself, your friends, and relatives as good as you can.
Don’t make a password consisting of just your birth date. Remember, that
it’s the first combination fraudsters try. Also, don’t put your birth
date as the answer to the test question if it’s mail. Check out below

Let us imagine that you have a complicated password, you don’t download
the “rob-attractive” photos and one day you receive the link from your
friend where he asks you to vote for him. Stop now. This can be a trap.
If you’ll link, the fraudsters receive your personal data, such as login
and password. Such scheme is called “fishing”. So, in this case,
ask your friend something personal. The other variant is just to make
him a call and ask about this. If you’ll receive the answer like “What
are you talking about?” you should explain him that he was hacked and
offer to change the password. Check out below tutorial to know about
popular hacking method used to acquire sensitive information about
oneself.
