How to Keep Your Telegram Account Safe: Security Tips

Conclusion: Protect your Telegram account, stay secure, and avoid being hacked!

Beware of Account Hacking Scams!

If you receive an alert message that looks like it's from an official source, always be on high alert! Never trust them blindly, no matter who the sender claims to be. These messages are often fake and are designed to hack your account.

Common Scams

  • The message content typically claims your account has been restricted and directs you to a bot named @SpaomiBot (other similar fake bots may appear in the future) to lift the restrictions.

Important Reminders:

  1. Fake Image Alert: This image is a fake and is not a genuine notification from official Telegram.
  2. Account Restrictions: If your account genuinely has restrictions, Telegram will not notify you via other users.
  3. Fake Bots: @SpaomiBot and @SprnaBot are both scam tools. The genuine official bot for lifting restrictions is @SpamBot, which has a verified badge.
  4. Official Communications: Please note that official Telegram will not send any messages in Chinese, nor is there a Chinese "Security Centre" or any bot with a Chinese name.

Protective Measures

  • Verification Code Safety: If anyone asks you to screenshot or forward a verification code sent by official Telegram (https://t.me/+42777), always refuse.
  • QR Code Vigilance: If someone asks you to scan a QR code they provide, claiming it's for "help or verification," be cautious. This could be a QR code used to log into your account, and once scanned, your account will be hacked.
  • Beware of Bots: Remain highly vigilant regarding bots whose names contain terms like "unblock," "two-way," or "restrict," to prevent account hacking.
  • File Security: Exercise caution when opening files in groups, channels, or private chats, especially those in formats like RAR, ZIP, or EXE, to prevent your account from being hacked.

Additional Tips

  • Enable Two-Step Verification: To protect your Telegram account's security and privacy, it is highly recommended to enable Telegram's two-step verification feature.
  • Privacy Settings: Regularly check and adjust your privacy settings to prevent information leaks and from being unnecessarily added to groups.
