ClickJacking
ClickJacking is a cyber scam that tells you to click on links and steals all your personal information. Redirects you to a web page to steal. Through hidden advertisements, criminals can steal all your money.
Spambots
Fraudsters use scambots on Twitter. This is an automatic malware. It is designed to send multiple tweets at once. These are links to videos, photos or any PC repair tool… it is said to be secure, but when you click on the link, it takes you to another website and your account starts retweeting the tweet.
How to be careful
LOL, OMG! Or amazing words should be avoided, as they contain malware. If a person uses these words, it is a trick. You should avoid this. If you see a link, check it out before clicking. If this word is spelled out in any post, avoid such links. Because this link may make you pop. If a page on Twitter follows you, and has followed thousands of such pages on the same page, which is suspicious, block it immediately. Install security software on your PC or laptop. This allows any type of malware to be easily detected and blocked.
