New Delhi, 20th December-2022, Tuesday

WhatsApp is the most used internet messaging app worldwide. This app is used by millions of users daily. Due to the high number of users on this app, cyber fraudsters also soft target the users. So nowadays cyber fraudsters are using new techniques to cheat users, in which users are getting Hi Mum or Hi Dad messages.

Impersonating users

It is known that such frauds have come to light in India before, in which cyber fraud users are known to extort money. The current 'Hi Mum' scam on WhatsApp is similar. In this, cyber scammers send messages to users with the name of someone they know and cheat users.

Thousands of people became victims of fraud

This type of fraud has come to the fore mostly in Australia. This year, users have been hit with a shock of 57 crores so far in WhatsApp scams. According to Australia's competition regulator, 11,100 people have been defrauded in Australia this year, with users being hit with $7.2 million. Only in August-2022, 1100 people became victims of fraud on WhatsApp.

If we don't want to bother so much , if we don't want to remember one more password, we can log-in on these sites with the help of our username-password of Google , Facebook , Twitter etc. This is ' social log-in ' . This is also called ' Connecting Google/Facebook Account ' with that app . Such log-in is convenient , but it also has many disadvantages , so now social log-in is not very necessary. That's why you should check which sites you have previously logged into social media in this way. To check which third-party apps you've connected (and now forgot) to your Google account, go to Android , Settings , Google. Find the option of ' Apps Connected ' in it . Here you will see the list of connected apps. Click on the app you are no longer using and disconnect...
