△ Screenshot of rumors spread on the Internet
In fact, this is already an old rumor
It appeared many years ago
Multiple authorities have refuted the rumors
▲ Shanghai police debunked rumors in 2018
Judging from the spread of the rumor, when the demand for people to send blessing pictures and videos is strong during festivals and other occasions, rumors are easy to spread.
The so-called publisher of "forwarding pictures to mobile phones will be poisoned, personal information will be stolen" information is simply nothing. There is no such news organization at all, and no other news organization has ever published similar news.
For users, if it is a direct display of pictures, videos, memes, etc., there will be no hidden attack programs, you can browse and forward with confidence, and the mobile phone will not be poisoned.
However, if you see an alert that only shows files or "floating layers", keep an eye on it.
In particular, links from unknown sources sent or presented through instant chat tools such as WeChat, various online social platforms, and mailboxes are not excluded as phishing programs, inducing users to enter personal information or starting to execute Trojan viruses by clicking on links.
Therefore, if users receive unknown types of files and links, they must be vigilant, do not easily click to open, and do not fill in personal information at will.
Detailed explanation of the process of the Trojan virus
1. When the phone does not seem to react after clicking on the link, but the background has begun to download the Trojan and install it automatically, in the process, the user may mistakenly think that the link is invalid, and then will not pay attention to it.
2. After the Trojan virus is installed, it is more difficult to uninstall, some of the installation paths are hidden relatively deeply, so that users can't find it, and some simply make you unable to uninstall unless you re-flash the machine.
3. After the Trojan is installed, the root permission of the user's mobile phone will be blocked and the user's sms collection function will be blocked, that is to say, the user's mobile phone cannot receive text messages from the bank, and the Trojan virus will automatically send the sms received by the user to the suspect's mobile phone.
4. The Trojan horse will probe the user's bank account information and password and send these important information to the suspect's mobile phone.
5. After the suspect gets these accounts and passwords, he begins to log on to the corresponding platform for transfer or consumption, they transfer and consume through the bank card quick payment, and the bank quick payment will send a verification code to the user's mobile phone, but at this time, the user's mobile phone SMS collection function has been blocked, the user is unaware, the SMS is automatically forwarded to the suspect's mobile phone, so the suspect successfully completed the payment.
What should I do if I click on a link?
1. Once you click on the link, shut down immediately, reinstall the system on your phone, restore factory settings or use antivirus software to kill viruses.
2. Inform friends and relatives in the address book at the first time, delete the text message in time, and do not click on the link.
3. Modify bank account information in a timely manner through other channels. It is best to unbind the original mobile phone number first and transfer out the balance in the card.
A trilogy of prevention
Do not click - remember that unfamiliar links do not click, and do not enter bank card numbers, passwords, verification codes and other information at will;
Do not be gullible - if you receive an official TEXT message containing a link, please call the official customer service telephone number for consultation or contact the nearest bank outlet at the first time to verify and inquire about the relevant information and confirm the authenticity;
Quick alarm - in case of trouble, you can ask for help from relatives and friends around you in time, in case of fraud, you should save relevant evidence in time and immediately call the police to deal with it.
Many small partners will forward the above rumors
In fact, it is with the mentality of "kind reminder"
The authenticity was not verified
Next time I can't believe it again~
