Protect Your Telegram Account from Scammers
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine warns about the dangers of scammers.
During the ongoing war, Telegram has become not only a source of urgent news but also a hotspot for fraud. Over 70% of Ukrainians reach out to the digital safety hotline Nadiyno.org regarding issues with their Telegram accounts.
Scammers employ standard phishing techniques, such as sending messages asking for money or voting for a friend's daughter in a contest.
Tips to protect your account from criminals:
- enable two-step verification;
- avoid suspicious links;
- check active sessions in Telegram settings and log out of unfamiliar devices;
- restrict access to personal information;
- use strong passwords and two-factor authentication instead of SMS for login.
Check and update your Telegram settings right now. Then take the test from the Nadiyno.org team to see if you can distinguish real messages from phishing traps – ne.nadiyno.org/telegram.
