568 );
The Cybersecurity Bureau of the
Department of Information and Communications Technology on Wednesday released recommendations on how the public can protect themselves on social media.
The bureau said social media users should not take the bait if they see footage being promoted online with the words “exclusive,” “shocking” or “sensational.”
The agency added that if it sounds too outlandish, “it’s probably a scam.”
Online users are also advised to be careful whenever they see shortened website links as it could be a disguise for a malicious link containing malware or a virus.
