For example, a cybersecurity expert advised users to be careful if they receive a notification containing an authorization code without being asked to access it.
Shumilov suggested enabling two-factor authentication to increase the security of accounts on social networks and messaging platforms. He also suggested signing out of all unnecessary devices in the settings and keeping the authorization only for the master device.
If users observe unusual account activity or unfamiliar login sessions, the expert recommends changing the password immediately. Cybercriminals can use compromised messenger accounts to steal confidential information, spread malware or steal personal information.
