Concerned Netizen Warns Public About Hackers Using Your Social Media Account To Get Money From Your Friends
A concerned netizen has warned the public regarding hackers using your social media account to get money from other people.
Nowadays, social media is one of the most popular methods of communication and to contact other people.
Social media websites including Facebook is mostly used in making transactions with other people since it was an effective method to attract more customers.
However, using the internet is also dangerous if hackers gain access to other people’s social media accounts and use it to take advantage towards others.
A Facebook user named Vanessa Joy Barrion warned the public about hackers who used her social media account to get money from her friends.
Hackers could not only get money from other people could also ruin the reputation and image of their victims.
Here’s the post of Barrion:
“To all my friends here on FB, My account was hacked this afternoon while I was out and busy. I was not able to check my phone for 2 hours. I did not post anything today my whereabouts so I have no idea kung paano nalaman ng taong yan na busy ako. My friend called me kala ko wala lang but she messaged my husband, kaya nagwonder na ako bakit kaya. So I called her and she said nagpapatransfer daw ako ng pera sa kanya kausap ko daw sya sa FB messenger(I was holding my phone pero no notifications) but she was wondering bakit ako nag “po” which is very unusual. When I checked my messenger, napansin ko na di ko naman kausap ung mga friends ko kanina pero nasa upper part sila ng messenger ko”
“Be careful guys! Delete all important messages here on FB especially bank accounts and always change your password, if you think nahack kayo, change the email address right away! If one of your friend is asking you to transfer money to his/her savings account or any account kahit family nyo pa yan o super close friend, always call them first just what my friend did.”
