The TikTok challenge is a social media trend that involves users creating and sharing short videos on the popular video-sharing platform TikTok. While these challenges can be harmless fun, there have been instances where they have been used as a means of spreading malware.

Malware, short for malicious software, is a type of software designed to harm or exploit computer systems. It can take many forms, including viruses, worms, trojans, and ransomware. Malware can infect a device through a variety of means, such as downloading infected files, visiting compromised websites, or clicking on malicious links.
It is important to be cautious when participating in TikTok challenges and to be mindful of the potential risks involved. If you receive a message or link related to a TikTok challenge, be sure to verify its authenticity before clicking on it. It is also a good idea to keep your device's antivirus software up to date to protect against malware attacks.

In conclusion, it is best to desist from participating in TikTok challenges that may be associated with malware attacks. It is always better to be safe than sorry, and taking a few precautions can help protect you and your device from harm.

Nigeria’s leading telecommunications provider MTN has this morning switched on its highly anticipated Fifth-Generation (5G) service at one hundred and ninety sites across the country but mainly in Lagos and Abuja, with some users reporting internet speeds of up to 1.4g per second, according to sources.

A source close to MTN Nigeria disclosed that MTN kept to its promise by commencing the rollout of its 5G network with plans to cover five cities within one month of the rollout. The cities include Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Kano.

Owing to the development, MTN has called on telecom subscribers to begin pre-order their 5G devices to enable them to enjoy the high-speed internet download with low latency that is associated with 5G, since not all devices can access the 5G network.

“The wonder of 5G is coming! Be among the first Nigerians to experience this incredible technology. Visit www.mtn.ng/5g-router to pre-order our 5G router now”, this was the message on MTN social media channels on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, signaling that the mobile network operator has opened its portal for Nigerians to pre-order for 5G routers.

5G Network is 10 times faster than a 4G network, you get superior streaming and your download is just in seconds.

MTN 5G Router Pre-Order Offer

  • Access to super-fast browsing. MTN Broadband 5G Router offers faster speed and performance than 3G & 4G.
  • Connecting multiple devices (up to 32) to the Router.
  • Superior streaming, gaming, data download, and uploads. Online games and videos are faster, smoother, and more realistic.
  • Wide Wi-Fi connection range.
  • 100GB data bonus on activation.

Mafab Communications and MTN Nigeria last December won the license for the rollout of the 5G service and going by the conditions of the license, the two operators were expected to roll out the service effective from today August 24, 2022.

However, while MTN is forging ahead with its plans today, Mafab has 5 more months to prepare.

In the coming weeks, expect to see 5G data plans with lots of bonus offers coming your way.

It is no longer news that Malware and fishing are on the rise, fraudulent activities that appear to come from a reputable source but at the end is a malware attack targeting innocent users is on the rise.

According to data reports gathered by Kaspersky Internet Security for Android users revealed that the largest share of detected malicious links between December 2020 and May 2021 was sent via WhatsApp (89.6%), followed by Telegram (5.6%).

Viber was in third place with a share of 4.7% and Hangouts had less than one percent. Globally, 480 detections were recorded per day.

The largest number of malicious links found in WhatsApp was partly due to the fact that it is the most popular messenger globally because it offers the easiest ways to share messages to a large number of people at once thus, it ensures quick propagation of malicious messages.

Telegram had the fewest detections but was similar in geography to WhatsApp. The highest number of malicious links were detected in Russia (56%), India (6%), and Turkey (4%).

On telegram, on the other hand, you’ll be added to scam groups without your permission, hence it is advisable you take privacy precautions to prevent people from adding you to groups without your permission.

How to Avoid Falling For Scams on WhatsApp and Telegram

  • Be vigilant and look for misspellings or other irregularities in links.
  • A ‘chain scheme’ is common practice, where a scammer asks a user to share the malicious link with his contacts which then looks legitimate to other users, as it is from a person they know. Be aware and don’t share any suspicious links with your contacts.
  • Scammers often use WhatsApp and other messengers to communicate with users who were found on a legitimate resource (for example, various marketplaces and accommodation booking services) and also use them as a method of communication in malicious messages. Even if messages and websites look real, the hyperlinks, most likely, will have incorrect spelling, or they can redirect you to a different place.
  • Even if a message or letter came from one of your best friends, remember that their accounts could also have been hacked. Remain cautious in any situation. Even if a message seems friendly, be wary of links and attachments.
  • Install a trusted security solution and follow its recommendations. Security solutions will solve the majority of problems automatically and alert you if necessary.
