There's a new scam on WhatsApp and it's spreading.

There's a new scam on WhatsApp and it's spreading. It can infect you without you doing anything. It all starts with a photo asking if this is really you. Do not click it. The moment you download it, hidden malware can install itself, giving the attacker access to your banking app, passwords, camera, microphone. Everything on your phone can be gone in minutes. Here's how to stop this from ever happening to you. Open WhatsApp, go to your settings, then click storage and data. Then scroll down to media auto-download and switch everything to never. This way the payloads can't be automatically downloaded. Step two, go to settings, privacy, and scroll down to advance. Turn on disable link previews. For maximum safety, go to strict account settings, turn that on. It's going to enable two factor authentication as well as every single advanced privacy setting on WhatsApp. Hackers will never stand a chance now. Don't let the scammers win guys. Send this to the person in your family who opens everything and follow for more heinous content. Stay safe, cheers.
