Momo virus on WhatsApp

[Couldee]

Hi all!

Have you heard about that Momo thing on Whatsapp? Some people say that it can steal your data and send you your own pictures that are changed somehow. I'm now afraid of using this messenger and thinking of using something else.

What will you recommend to do? Is it safe to continue using it or you can advice something else?

Yes i have heard about this MOMO virus which is currently spreading on whatsapp. For this you don't need to stop using your whatsapp messenger, instead you should disable all the auto download options on whatsapp setting.by doing this you can avoid this issue.

This MOMO virus is spreading across all over the world . And this is really very very dangerous for hacking your mobile device. So, be safe with your data and avoid replying to unknown numbers.

How to know if that is a MOMO virus or not?

Unless you click on spammy link you are safe.

How can I know if the link is spammy or not? Sometimes even the ones that look well are spammy at the end

I think if he-she will add you you'll recognize her at once By the way here's some information I found about her: https://steemit.com/messenger/@bancomp/anxiety-in-the-press-and-horror-in-social-networks-who-is-momo In order to be safe everyone should know about her.

But I'm not sure if it will help.. The point is not only in files that he/she sends to you. It may just start speaking to you in chat first..

I also heard about this virus. Now I think that Whatsapp has big problems with the privacy of users' personal data. You can try another Signal messenger, it seems now he is the most secure of all.

I don't use WhatsApp for a long time and I advice you to do the same. There are good encrypted messengers like Wire or Signal for example where there are no such situations.

 

[mickyfu]

Oh no, somebody my get hold of all my precious dick pics, whatever will I do.

There is no privacy in any social media now a days. All your data are hackable. So, try to be safe from those things. MOMO virus is also that kind of a virus which hacks your mobile phone completely. You should trun off all the auto download options on your whatsapp setting., by doing this you can avoid getting hacked

Although it looks like a joke, but in fact this virus is very dangerous, because your data is now not exactly protected. I think you now definitely need to change the messenger. I would prefer Telegram or Signal in your place.
