Protecting Your Social Media Accounts


An important message from Cyber Protect about your social media accounts. This information is worth passing on to friends and family and indeed your social media contacts.

Cyber Protect  @CyberProtectUK

🤔How do criminals hack into social media accounts? Here's one way...

 

 â„šī¸ You'll receive a text like this from someone claiming they have accidentally sent their verification code to your number. You might even receive these messages from friends or family members

 

 âŒ If you share the code, it'll allow the criminals to login to your account.

 

 âœ… Never share verification codes... with anyone! *It's not really your friend or family member sending you the message, their account has been hacked and the hacker is impersonating them. #CyberProtect
