Block anyone who raises suspicion. Enable 2FA as soon as possible – head to WhatsApp Settings-Account and turn the feature on. Check that your profile information is not publicly visible. Go to Settings-Privacy and choose who can see your profile picture, “about” information, and other account details. Make sure you share those only with a small group of people. Don’t fall for scam support messages. Scammers offering their “help” by redirecting WhatsApp users to experts who allegedly can help get the hacked account back. The only way to recover a hacked account is by contacting official support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧾Story Links: Meta's data scraping, GDPR violations and Securing your WhatsApp: https://cybernews.com/editorial/meta-data-scraping/ Personal data leak check link: https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/ Password leak checker: https://cybernews.com/password-leak-check/ Best password managers to use: https://cybernews.com/best-password-managers/ Darknet's Largest Mobile Malware Marketplace Threatens Users Worldwide: https://thehackernews.com/2022/12/darknets-largest-mobile-malware.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk Nerdy To Me is sponsored by: 🛡️ IronClad CyberSecurity (www.ironcladcybersecurity.com) 🚬 JSK Cigars (www.jassumkral.com/) 💻 Cinch I.T.
