All sort of google forms needed to be given a careful attention, if you didn't apply for one then disregard receiving anyone talkless of filling the forms out and clicking on their links attached, there are alot of means hackers can device to attack you especially if you're the greedy type that always get freaked by mere words, bounties and fake promises, we are expected to be disciplined as well from the ways we browse online and the kinds of sites visited, there are many malicious ones out for an attacked, always ensure you're on the right official website before proceeding with anything.

Everyone who joins here should know, all of us are targets of scammers. Vigilance is very important and needs to be increased against Malicious social links attacks. If you suddenly get an email from a party you don't know containing a fake link attachment, then you should ignore it and don't click anything if the email involves your account credentials. They are very smart in carrying out their actions, we must be smarter than them.

quite often getting unknown links to go to my private messages on social media or in email messages. i just need to ignore it and block the sender from sending the same link. However, another message will appear again and again. Be wary of the given link or some links that include unknown applications. personal information will be the main target to be able to open related accounts, as well as try to hack the wallet used on our devices.
There are many ways you can do to protect yourself from malicious links, but the main thing is that users must be vigilant.

Binance users should know by now that only the notification that they will be expecting that would be sent to them, example is if you withdraw or deposit into your Binance account, if stop loss or take profit has been triggered are the kind of notifications you will receive through email. There are other notification that Binance will send through in-app notification which you will know that you got the notification because you are using Binance app. You should do everything we can do to make sure we do not click on malicious links if you want to protect your coins.

We are all aware of email links, and sales invoice, bank emails asking as for payments, and mostly victims are people who just click the links entering their information's, without knowing the risk that will happen after log-in with the fake links.
There is another hacks that targets social media users, one of this is the links targeting binance users, which saying you can earn using this apps, once this is click your phone and information would probably be steal, at the same time your social account will also be use to send messages through your contacts on that social platform, I'm sure some of us are aware of what happen to an influencer where almost all his NFT's were stolen.
This is to inform our new members and some who still receives this links on all social platforms to delete or ignore, block the sender of this messages, if you know the person, ask them to change their password add another layer of security, for their account.
I hope this will be able to help everyone and share this to their friends, so that they are updated of what this hackers are doing.
