They warn of the theft of information in Instagram


The security company said that in the new form of theft of personal information, the scammers take advantage of the growing popularity of Instagram to offer users a premium mobile service course and to enter cheat malicious links. The caveat is, of course, be wary and reject such offers, in addition to not provide private data such as the number of the credit card, to external applications. Instagram members in which we must be wary not usually have in your account and, in some cases, even images. The advice that gives Symantec are set Instagram account private , ie visible only to followers that one approves, avoid following random people, not click shortened links , where you can not see the real domain; consider whether the person who wants to follow no photos uploaded, and finally to report those suspected users. In social networks in general, acquire multiple forms scams, recalls Symantec in his blog, ranging from comment spam formats to false followers and "likes" by pictures in the hope that people see their profiles, which more links contain spam. This month's report prepared by the company also highlighted a significant decrease in the volume of spam email. The overall rate of spam has dropped from 75 percent in September traffic to 64.8% in October.
