These days, it seems almost everyone is inundated with scam messages on WhatsApp or locked out of their social media accounts by hackers.

But never fear, there are steps you can take to make sure you’re not an easy target for these bad actors.

Loop News spoke with Michael Khan, VP of Sales at TSL Group, who shared these helpful tips to ensure we’re as hack-resistant as possible.

Identify fraudulent messages: Messages on WhatsApp, Instagram, or a regular text message from senders not in your contact list offering you money or other prizes, especially when you haven’t entered any contests, are definitely a prank .

“These kinds of messages feed on hope. An easy way to tell if it’s a scam is if it sounds too good to be true,” Khan said.

If you received a strange message from a friend, confirm with him by another means if he indeed contacted you. And, if you’ve determined that it’s not your friend, report the account.

People should ignore these types of messages and block the sender. Under no circumstances should personal information be shared.

Let your friends know if you’ve been hacked: If you have ever found yourself blocked on your own social media accounts by a hacker, the next step should be to let your friends know.

“Let your friends know right away because this person may try to impersonate you and try to get more information about other aspects of your life,” Khan said.

Friends will be able to help you recover your accounts by reporting content posted by the impostor.

Once done, try to recover your account by following the steps detailed by the different platforms. Instagram’s Help Center details steps to verify your identity

Do not reuse passwords: Many of us are guilty of reusing passwords for our various logins because they are easier to remember. But, Khan said it makes it easier for hackers to take control of our accounts. If they have access to this single password, they can access all accounts, which can compromise more important things like your bank account.

Khan recommends using a password vault to help you manage your passwords. These applications use a single “master” password and then provide the password for the account to be accessed. These are sometimes secured with biometrics, adding another layer of protection.

“Keep in mind when creating passwords that the longer the password, the more secure it is, making your account harder to hack,” he said.

Enable multi-factor authentication: This security feature can save your life as it helps protect your account and password. Luckily, apps like Facebook lay out the steps to enable this extra layer of protection.

With this authentication, you will be asked to enter a special login code or confirm your login attempt whenever someone tries to access your account from unrecognized browsers or devices.

Install the latest updates: Update your apps and devices as quickly as possible. This closes the door (or window) to hackers. Setting your apps and devices to update automatically is a quick and easy way to make sure you’re safe.

Pay attention to social media habits: Be careful what you share on social media. Sharing too much of your personal life can give hackers clues about your habits.

Khan explained that regularly posting your location can tell hackers the best time to attempt to gain access to your account.

Phone reset to factory settings when upgrading to a new device: Khan recommends fully purging all information from old devices before disposing of them. TSL Group disposes of old devices through certified e-waste handlers. Also, a sure way that no one can use your old device to capture your personal information and hack into your accounts is to drill straight into the phone. Yes, you read that right. Use a drill.

As for additional advice, Khan said people should be skeptical and apply zero trust to everything they do in their digital lives.

Khan said anyone who has received fraudulent messages or been the victim of a hacking attack should report the matter to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Department’s Cybercrime Unit.

Beyonce recently deleted her profile pictures from all her social media accounts, including Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

According Subway, the deletion of the singer’s photos has sparked speculation among her avid fans that she will be releasing her new album in a few hours. Even her fans started the #Beyonceisback trend on Twitter.

One wrote, “If Beyoncé drops an album tonight at midnight, I’m not available for the rest of the month!”

Another chimed in and said, “#beyonceisback, I’m screaming in the house!”

Meanwhile, a few are unsure and speculate that the Sweet Dreams hitmaker is likely to drop another IVY Park clothing collection instead of her new music album.

One user commented, “Omg she’s coming, imagine this is for IVYPARK, the queen is keeping us guessing.”

Anoté tweeted, “SHE IS COMIN, but y’all what if it’s Ivy Park? Y’all know Beyoncé loves acting, I’m afraid.

For the uninformed, the crooner’s latest album Lemonade came out in 2016.

Apparently the Crazy in Love The singer announced that she would release a new album on Christmas 2021, but that never happened.

(WSVN) – She’s a skilled South Florida baker who depends on Instagram to grow her cake business. When her account was suspended, she turned to 7News for help. Kevin Ozebek of 7 investigates.

Whether it’s for a couple getting married or a child celebrating his birthday…

Lily Dominguez: “My cookies and cream are really good for kids. They adore him.”

Lily Dominguez turns cake dreams into reality.

Lily Dominguez: “I make custom cakes for a living.”

For 16 years, she has owned Edible Creations Bakery in Cooper City.

Lily Dominguez: “You come up with an idea, you tell me you want a superhero cake, we design it and we make it.”

Lily’s cakes are big, elaborate and popular on Instagram.

Kevin Ozebek: “What percentage of new customers come to you through Instagram?”

Lily Dominguez: “Like 85%.”

But earlier this month, on the Edible Creations Instagram page, there were no massive cakes. Just this message saying “Sorry, this page is not available.”

Lily Dominguez: “I’m frustrated, frustrated. I work really hard and I’m ready to retire in two years, and I’m just trying to make a living.

At the same time Lily lost the Edible Creations Instagram page, her personal Facebook account was suspended.

Lily soon received this message from Facebook. He says she posted a message that “goes against our community standards on child sexual exploitation”.

Lily Dominguez: “For me, it’s absurd. I am a grandmother.

Lily was stunned to have her personal Facebook and work Instagram pages blocked. The accounts are linked because both are part of Meta, the social media super company.

Her last Facebook post before the suspension was Mother’s Day photos with her adult children. They are far from being pornographic and no one is underage.

Lily Dominguez: “I really don’t know what happened. One is 39 and the other 31.

Lily says she tried to contact Facebook but couldn’t get any answers.

So we also approached.

A Facebook spokesperson told us, “It appears that the Facebook account and Instagram page were inaccurately disabled by our proactive detection technology…thanks for letting us know so we can improve our technology…”

Lily Dominguez: “I was trying to reset and tell them it was a mistake for two weeks, and they didn’t even get back to me, so at least you got a response.”

Lily says that when her Instagram page was restored, dozens of follower order requests were waiting for her.

Lily Dominguez: “My business is picking up.

And once again, her perfect cakes are back online for all to see.

A pre-inquest hearing into the tragic death of JFS student Mia Janin has heard how Snapchat accounts that may contain vital evidence were deleted on teachers’ instructions just five days after the 14-year-old s is committed suicide.

Detective Inspector Gail Steele, who is leading the Metropolitan Police investigation into Mia’s death, told the hearing, which was observed via Zoom by the Janin family, that school staff from Kenton had told students to remove the information, in line with new regulations giving the school authority to remove content from students’ social media.

Appeals to social media companies that Mia and her classmates used to release key data were not granted and Coroner Andrew Walker was asked to warn the companies that the data will be kept for the inquest police in progress. It was also revealed in court that police are awaiting statements from other adult witnesses and an unnamed rabbi.

The hearing was adjourned to September 15.

Mia took her own life on March 12, 2021, a day after she returned to school when the lockdown ended last year. Her father, Mariano, is now begging parents and students at the Kenton school to come forward to help him find out why.

He believes toxic social media posts or videos may have led to the death of the 10th grader, who his classmates believe was bullied.

“This whole experience has been a nightmare too horrible to explain,” Mariano said. The Sunday Times. “Every day, I feel like I’m living in slow motion. Relatives with information – please take it to the coroner. We need to know what happened for the sake of the other children and also for Mia. Do not close ranks.

Mia has become the third Jewish public school student to die by suicide since 2017.

The front page of this week.

The day before her death, Mia reportedly asked her parents if she could move to another school. Investigators found she had voicemailed a friend, before the first day back, saying she was “mentally preparing to be intimidated by him”. [an unnamed pupil] and all his friends.

Mariano said he knew Mia had logged into a social networking app – either Yolo or Houseparty – just hours before her death, but did not know what she had seen, sent or received.

Mia’s phone was turned over to police following her death, but remained locked until Wednesday’s pre-inquest hearing. Mariano hopes investigators will find what drove his daughter to end her life. He added: “I don’t want another parent in my place.”

His wife, Marisa, who reunited with Mia, died of an aggressive form of cancer suddenly just months after her daughter’s death.

Mia’s death bears a strong resemblance to that of Molly Russell, a 14-year-old from nearby Harrow who took her own life in 2017 after reading social media posts. Molly’s father, Ian, supports the Janin family by demanding answers.

Ofsted investigated JFS after Mia’s death and downgraded it from ‘good’ to ‘unsatisfactory’ and said all students had been severely bullied with little or no intervention from staff.

JFS Director David Moody said Jewish News: “Following comments made to the Sunday Times which recently published an article about Mia, the school is unable to comment on an ongoing police investigation.”

“As the new director of JFS, I am confident that all possible information has been made available to the police to help them reach a conclusion. OfSTED recently rated JFS as a good school and was pleased with the sustained changes enacted by the Governors and the new management team.

By the end of last night’s “Raw,” Becky Lynch had endured a rough 24 hours.

First, at Sunday’s Hell in a Cell, she seemingly won the Raw Women’s Championship after hitting Asuka with The Manhandle Slam, but was foiled by Bianca Belair who capitalized on the triple threat rules to retain her title. Lynch took to social media to vent about her bad luck, claiming she was robbed.

Subsequently, on Raw last night, Lynch’s patience was tested when Akira Tozawa, Reggie, Tamina & Co. ran into the ring during his match with Dana Brooke. Once Brooke rolled up Tozawa to begin her 5th reign as 24/7 Champion, a furious Lynch demanded an impromptu title match while threatening to beat the entire WWE 24/7 cavalcade – even the men. Just when she seemed to be close to a win, Asuka rushed to ringside and held Lynch’s foot from the outside, giving Brooke enough clout to claim the biggest win of her career. . Lynch was actually pinned by Dana Brooke.

Lynch reacted to the series of events by making drastic changes to her Twitter and Instagram accounts. In addition to blacking out her profile and header photos, Lynch changed her location to “Void” and her bio to “Unknown.”

With Rhea Ripley set to challenge Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank, Lynch is out of the title picture just yet.

Lynch is rumored to face WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus later this summer at either Money in the Bank or SummerSlam. The two women have exchanged gunfire over the past few months, with their last exchange taking place on Sunday night.
