Hello friends, how are you? I came here today to the Free Rights group and found something new and interesting here. It's basically a competition: you have to top-click it. Don't click the link, friends. As you know, this topic is very important. It's very important—why it's important is that you've probably noticed that in our everyday lives and online media there are many apps and links that generate a lot of traction. Whatever you buy, if it's supposed to be a thousand dollars on the market, then it… They'll create such an attraction that you click on it, and that same thing that's supposed to cost a thousand dollars will be available to you for $300.
What happens is that many of our friends fall for the lure that it might be genuine, and they click on it. As soon as they click, all their details go to the person providing the link, who then ends up with your information in one way or another. They get shared.
One thing I'll point out here is that many people think hacking only happens to famous people or big companies, but the reality is that anyone can target you through cybercrime—all they need is your password or personal information. And for that, they use very clever tricks: sometimes they send you a link, and sometimes they try to connect with you through a fake email.
I'll repeat again that he will try to trap you in many ways: he'll try to give you free prizes, try to lure you, or try to send you promo codes, or he'll do something with you that in our language is called phishing. What happens in phishing is that, for example, he'll ask you to like… They use bait. What happens is they'll offer you a “three-provide” deal: you go to Facebook, give your information, and they'll give you free promos that you can use anywhere to save.
On the surface, it will look like when you click on it, you'll be taken to the real Facebook, so you'll enter your login password, but your actual Facebook won't open—instead, your login credentials and password will go to the hacker. After that, he can take over your real Facebook and demand a large sum of money from you.
Why does this happen? Often people click on links without thinking. A new file might download that sends a virus to your system, hacks your personal data, and steals your things, including your personal cards. That sensitive information you've stored on your mobile or laptop can be accessed by hackers through those links.
In the end, I just want to say that, friends, the Internet is undoubtedly a powerful thing. While we build on it every day and reap many benefits in life, we also want to warn you not to click on any wrong link—what you might call an unknown link—or on anything like that. By doing so, your data will, for one reason or another, end up in the hands of hackers, compromising your privacy and causing you a great deal of harm. Thank you.
