Think twice before answering to hacked Instant Message (IM) accounts!

I’m always getting these, and I write about them.. But there’s one thing I think you all should be aware of here. Online IQ tests are NOTHING but complete spam! You know this the MOMENT they ask you to provide your cell number, or “login” to your IM account to unlock your data…

Please see This Screenshot and view for yourself, just how real these bots act. Please remember, bots MAY come from your friends accounts, so they are hard to distinguish! Never click a link IMed to you from even someone you know, without verifying it past them first.

Some things to know: Bots will reply to the keyword “bot” or “virus” at least once. If you say these keywords back to the bot, and they respond in an “innocent” manor, chances are it’s fake.. Following along with the links they send you WILL turn your IM account into a zombie, botting all your entire friends list. Not to mention, some of them go as far as injecting malicious material onto your PC.

Play safe! Another quicktip by SeiRruf. :)
