Many Yunus Loop DeFi members use Telegram for communication, team coordination, and tracking news.
We would like to remind you of the #security rules, which will help you avoid unauthorized access to your Telegram account.
Set up 2FA
You need to set up two-factor authentication to protect your account against hijacking.
Restrict what information you share with other Telegram users
1.Who can see my phone number — Nobody
2.Auto Download Media → Toggle off
3.Who can find me by my number — My Contacts, etc.
On your mobile version of Telegram, navigate over to Privacy & Security → Data Settings and remove from Telegram storage any information you do not want to be there.
To make sure this doesn’t happen, view all devices where your Telegram account is logged in. To do this, go to Settings/ Privacy and Security/Active sessions.
Some hackers just use Telegram as a method of communication with their potential victims, rather than attacking any features inherent to Telegram itself.
It’s extremely common for hackers and scammers to impersonate Telegram users by choosing a username that is very close to, but slightly different from, the original.
Do not follow unknown links, especially from strangers.
