Which SMS messages should be deleted immediately: protect your smartphone and personal data
It turns out that some SMS messages are very dangerous.
It is advisable to delete them immediately. This should be done to prevent loss of personal data and to protect the mobile device.
So, what are the signs of a dangerous text message?
Which SMS messages should be deleted immediately
Let's imagine a situation: you received an SMS from an unknown number.
There is some strange hyperlink in the text message. Do not follow it under any circumstances!
The fact is that the author of the SMS may be a fraudster whose goal is to obtain your personal data.
By clicking on the link, you may automatically transmit important information to the attacker.
Or there may be another option: following a hyperlink will lead to the installation of a malicious program on the smartphone.
Therefore, it is advisable to immediately delete all SMS messages received from unknown numbers and containing links, so that there is no temptation to still go to a potentially dangerous Internet resource.
The same should be done with suspicious messages in instant messengers and strange emails.
