Protect Your Telegram from Scammers: Essential Tips
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine warns about online scams.
During the ongoing war, Telegram has become not only a source of news but also a breeding ground for various scams. About 70% of Ukrainians contact Nadiyno.org's support service with issues related to hacked Telegram accounts.
Scammers typically use phishing tactics, attempting to steal money or votes for acquaintances in competitions.
Tips for protecting your account:
- enable two-step verification;
- avoid suspicious links;
- check active sessions in your Telegram settings and log out of unknown devices;
- limit access to personal information;
- use strong passwords and two-factor authentication instead of SMS.
Don't wait, check your Telegram settings today. Take the test on the Nadiyno.org website to see if you can distinguish real messages from phishing attempts: ne.nadiyno.org/telegram.
