Warning : Please take a look at this

Unfortunately the poor kid didnt know that i work in a cybersecurity firm. He tried "phishing" against me. These attacks start with social engineering that psycologically try to manipulate you into peforming a task such as clicking a link or downloading a file. Look how this guy tries to provoke me... man toh kar raha hai cerber 3 ransomware use karu is chunu munu pe.. :joy: ..lekin jaan do...

You guys Please dont fall for such things. They are hacking your accounts. Its just a warning message for ur cybersecurity

  • Account gets hacked if we click? what exactly is it.. cyber noob here.
  • where does that link takes you to? until and unless we share details, how can he hack us?
  • @Fuhrer how to differentiate fake links from genuine and how does clicking one leads to account hacking ?

    He can..this link is not exactly what it seems..it looks like a forum link but is something different...it might redirect you to a similar forum looking page asking for ur login credentials..(if u enter u might lose ur account credentials to him) worse if u have same uswr if pwd for different accounts...secondly..the link might ask u to install a file..that can lead to installation of a trojan which will work as per commands from command and control server( hacker) .. thirdly even once u click the link ur system might get infected througj drive by download attack.. thr is a lot more..just dont click on any fake links even how genuine the person seems to be.. aajkal log spearphishing karte hain..ye munna kaafi outdated hai
  • i was getting some message few hours ago to log in with my email id again.......but i didnt.....does the forum sends email verification message to email id?
  • @Fuhrer how to differentiate fake links from genuine and how does clicking one leads to account hacking ?

    Before clicking link just right click and copy link address.. paste it in word...is it same address as that of forum? See it again.. r u sure i is not replaced by 1 or L to give it a similar look..once u r sure only then
  • one of my fren's laptop was infected with cerber3 ransomeware recently.....but it was cured by restoring through restore point..

    @Neyawn @root @ForumIAS Sir, last time there was an attack on Forum, such genuine looking links were posted.
    Panjwani or something was the username. @Captain_Peroxide had even warned against it. Perhaps it was late by then.

    Please note the IP of this rogue user chintubulbul and file a complaint against him.

    @Fuhrer Thank You for sharing.
