Now, WhatsApp users need to be more careful on online chats because the new porn scam is on the rise. According to the Express, “Some groups are inviting users to add on adult groups where their personal information is subject to be hacked.” Cyber Security experts have said on this issue “WhatsApp scams are increasing day by day and this new porn scam is more dangerous among them.” Pornography is a sensitive subject over the days on the search engine and accepting group invitations may enable the admin to handle over your personal and other confidential information.
In this age of technology, Whatsapp hack is worse than a nightmare because most people are trading and sharing personal information online through WhatsApp. Vade Secure Says; “Barring making money from online phishing, cyber criminals are more likely to crash the safety layer of WhatsApp and get hold over your credential information and password of other online services.”
And another biggest cyber issue is that besides the magnificent growth of the market, cybercrime is not reducing. What caused the growth in the areas? Vade secure said the “WhatsApp drove that growth and also caused a leap or a glitch in cyber security.”
Though the Californian company ‘Facebook’ has been tackling all cyber attacks efficiently, still it is unable to scan the pornographic content which leads the end to end users to send group chat invitations to join 18+ chat as a honeytrap. Facebook owned instant messaging application ‘WhatsApp’ has some bugs to be fixed yet.
It is a moral duty of the WhatsApp users to ensure that they are joining chat with the known and reliable group admin otherwise a wrong step may lay them to handwash of their most credential information. And also if you are joining any group via link or website, then don’t share your valuable information such as mobile number, email address, house number and others over there.
“Rather than seek a financial payback from social media phishing, cybercriminals may be harvesting credentials and then attempting to reuse the passwords to hack into other online services” Vade secure added. According to a survey by Google – Every out of two people use the same password for their multiple social media accounts.
If you are willing to make the most of the technology then you need to beware of cyber crimes too. And this is the chronology of how the criminals get information.
