The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine warns about the dangers of scammers.

During the war, Telegram has become not only a source of news but also a hub for fraud. Over 70% of Ukrainians contact the digital security hotline Nadiyno.org with inquiries regarding their hacked Telegram accounts.

Scammers employ various phishing techniques, such as sending messages requesting financial help or asking for votes in competitions from friends.

Tips to protect your account:

- enable two-step verification;

- avoid suspicious links;

- check active sessions in Telegram settings and log out from unknown devices;

- restrict access to personal information;

- use strong passwords and two-factor authentication instead of SMS.

Check your Telegram settings right now. Take the test from the Nadiyno.org team and find out if you can distinguish a real message from a phishing trap — ne.nadiyno.org/telegram.
