Beware of Scammers on Telegram
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine warns users about the risks of scams.
During the war, Telegram has become not only a source of news but also a breeding ground for fraudulent activities. Over 70% of Ukrainians contact the Nadiyno.org hotline regarding issues with hacked Telegram accounts.
Scammers often employ phishing tactics, sending messages asking for money or voting for friends' daughters in contests.
Tips to safeguard your account:
- enable two-step verification;
- avoid clicking on suspicious links;
- check active sessions in your Telegram settings and log out from unknown devices;
- restrict access to personal information;
- use strong passwords and two-factor authentication instead of SMS for login.
Check your Telegram settings now. Take the test from the Nadiyno.org team to find out if you can distinguish real messages from phishing traps — ne.nadiyno.org/telegram.
