RE: Awareness From The Ongoing Phishing Scam
Thanks for your post, @olivia08
It looks like your friend was really lucky she had put the money in her savings account.
I have just a little remark: you say : “ do not open a link in a comment that was posted by someone with a reputation of 25 or below”
If the phishing link hasn’t been detected yet, it can be a person with any reputation. Always check a link in comments to see whether it redirects you to a known site. Be sure to check the URL of the site, because the difference might be very small.
If you are logged in to SteemIt and you click a link that sends you to a site that resembles SteemIt, but asks you to log in again: run away.
Thanks for helping me spread the word!
Copy Sir,,,@simplymike,,i just follow what other said,I am afraid if i will be automatically hacked when I open the link,so the good thing is to click the link and check but when they directed me to go to another sight,that will be the time that I will not follow his instruction.Is that correct Sir? @simplymike..
Thank you for your correction and now I know more information.I have no literacy about computer thats why I am really hesitant tl open any link since phishing rarely visible every time I post.This is a very good contest that gjve us more knowledge..So much appreciated.
If you’re using a computer you van see where a link redirects to by just hovering over it (without clicking). When you hover over it, the URL will show in the left bottom corner of your screen.
On mobile, you just tab en hold: a window will pop up, showing you the full URL
