Social Media Traps!

HOW PEOPLE THINK THEY GET HACKED

How People think they get hacked?

Social media sites can be enjoyable, entertaining, as well as a way of sharing events and special memories with friends.

HOW THEY REALLY GET HACKED…

These posts and games underhandedly ask for the same kind of information you’d typically give your bank for verification if you call to make an enquiry. Now of course, not all the information is asked in the same post or game, but rather collected over time so that most unsuspecting people won’t even notice it.

Be alert, be safe!
