Omo i nor know if anybody for here don first experience or get person way don experience this matter way be whatsapp hack. One of my guy message me for whatsapp on monday say make i help m transfer money go one account way he go send me bcos he don reach he transfer limit but I thank God say the money way he be dey ask for nor dey my account at that time bcos I go for send m fast for am, since I know say he dey highly capable to pay back.

But yesterday my guy cor post for whatsapp status say make everybody way receive that message nor vest, say person be hack he account and he just recently get am back. The thing suprise me and i cor ask am say why he nor vest set 2 step verification for he whatsapp, he say he never first reason that side.

I bring this thing come here say make we dey cautious online, even if we know person well well, nor mean say hackers nor fit get the person account and so anytime person way dey close to us ask us for money (including bitcoin) or any sensitive information from us, make we dey careful and try to see the person first physically or at least call the person to verify bcos things dey happen online, infact even for our bitcointalk forum so, account hack don dey common, we dey see as some of our members of this forum way don come out, cor talk say nor be them borrow money with their own account and come out with proof and now since person way be wan help person now cor dey get their money back, to borrow for here nor cor easy as bfor.

My other advice na be say make anybody way never set 2 step verification for Whatsapp or any other social media account way he/she go set am. 2 step verification get different ones, just observe m and check the one way dey well and secure for, Nor go use over protectivenes tel lock account.

OP na God been get your back that on Monday ohh if not you for explain trie but Wetin I never understand na how the guy scammer tak get link to him what app OP this should explain to us that this person must have been close to him or most have some little information about him if it is truthful
This must have teach us how we should not trust people you never can tell who is your enemy.

Back to the topic about the two ways or two steps verification so you mean person no fit enta ur whatapp without ur permission?? If u don verify am.
But OP @Amphenomenon come to think of it does this has to do wit email verification too and adding some password too because without this two some scammer are very smart and they can just use any little information to get inside ur phone.

All of us wey dy for this crypto space and those using the internet need to know that scammers are getting sophisticated everyday, them no need too much information from you for them to hack your account, some of this online scammers na wizard in computer and even coding, so for we to survive here without falling into there hand, we need to get sophisticated also with our security by paying close attention to the smallest details, no allow even the smallest details go out, if not you go pay dearly if e enter the wrong hand, and another thing wey dy really important na that 2factor verification wey the op don already talk about, people no know how important this tin be due to ignorance or lack of knowledge but anybody wey take security serious for this life no sopos carry am play.
