Scam messages on WhatsApp: watch out for & #8220; New Year Virus & #8221;

In these hours there is a lot of talk about scam messages on Whatsapp of & #8220;New Year's virus & #8221;It's a very trivial scam, actually, but given the holiday season, whether it's the joy of receiving some new gadgets or the numbness of revelry, it could prove more effective than usual. So after the Postal Police's warning to beware of account theft via SMS, here's another scam.

To sum it up very simply: it is a chain of Sant & #8217; Antonio where i sent messages They contain links to virus-infected web pages. Following these links can compromise the integrity of your smartphone or computer, expose you to invasive advertisements, trick you into providing sensitive personal information, or sign up for junk subscription services. The links are generally disguised as greetings; to read them, you must click on the links that lead to the following domains (remove the dots and hyphens to prevent accidental clicks):

  • Touch here site
  • My love co nat

It is therefore correct to specify that the so-called New Year's virus it's not a virus of Whatsapp, but a cheap scam that spreads through WhatsApp, which on the other hand is the most popular messaging client of all, and therefore it's easier for someone to fall for it. The advice is obviously NOT to follow the link and, if unknown, block the sender. If unknown, it's a good idea to notify them that their device has likely been compromised.
