WeChat users should pay attention to privacy leaks. If this information is not deleted in time, your account may be "hacked"

Speaking of the most popular industry, probably it is the Internet industry right now. In fact, with the rapid development of the Internet industry, its affiliated industries are also constantly upgrading. It can be said that the entire society today is running smoothly in the Internet environment.

Nowadays, many college students will choose to enter the Internet industry after graduation, because they can find high-paying and decent jobs.

Among the many products derived from the Internet era, one of the most anticipated is instant messaging software. In our country, the most popular social software is WeChat. It not only has many functions, but is also convenient and concise to use, and can quickly shorten the distance between people.

On WeChat, we can share our daily updates in our circle of friends, and we can also contact our families through voice and video calls.

Using WeChat to chat can make our social circle wider and closer. Nowadays, everyone can no longer live without WeChat, but at the same time, there are many things that need our attention. After all, WeChat is still a software. If you do not use it reasonably, it is very likely to cause you some trouble.

WeChat users must pay special attention to it. For this information in WeChat, it is best to delete it yourself. Otherwise, your privacy is likely to be leaked, and you will regret it later.

In 2010, WeChat was born. It is an instant messaging software developed by Tencent. When this software was first launched, everyone was relatively unfamiliar with it, so they were reluctant to accept and recognize it.

The main reason is that most people were using QQ at that time. Before WeChat came out, QQ was the dominant social software. For those born in the 80s and 90s, it was also a special existence, containing a lot of memories.

When WeChat was first launched, it was associated with QQ. Offline messages on QQ could also be received in WeChat.

However, slowly with the development of the times, everyone found that the functions of QQ can no longer meet their various needs, and WeChat can just meet these needs. WeChat has many functions, including mobile payment. In this era of rapid development of mobile payment, QQ has not launched this feature, so many people choose WeChat.

After everyone has WeChat, they rarely use QQ. After all, only one of the commonly used social software is enough. Nowadays, many adults basically don’t know how to log in to QQ in their daily work and life.

More and more people are using WeChat, and its functions are becoming more and more complete. We cannot live without WeChat every day, and everyone’s dependence on WeChat is also increasing.

In fact, at the beginning, WeChat was just for simple chatting, but later it had Moments, mini games, mini programs, etc. It connects us with family, friends, colleagues and more.

In the process of using WeChat, it will continue to change its functions and fix some bugs. Only in this case can we provide users with a better experience. According to relevant data, more than 1.2 billion users are now using WeChat.

With such a terrifying amount of usage, WeChat will naturally attract the attention of some hackers. These hackers keep an eye on WeChat all the time. As long as they can find a gap, they can steal the personal information and location of WeChat users anytime and anywhere, thereby making huge profits.

Nowadays, everyone pays great attention to their own privacy. When we download and install some software on our mobile phones, everyone will carefully check whether the software requires some permissions, and any privacy-related ones will not be used.

However, when someone mentioned that WeChat might also leak privacy, everyone panicked. Is this really the case? How does it leak privacy?

Nowadays, we are basically inseparable from WeChat. Many people choose WeChat payment method when paying, and therefore put money in their WeChat balance.

If you go out without your mobile phone, no matter whether you take a bus or a taxi, or even go to a small vendor to buy something, you will not be able to use WeChat payment. And now we rarely carry cash with us, which will cause us some trouble.

When people generally use WeChat, they basically log in with their own mobile phones, but sometimes there may be some exceptions. For example, if you forget to bring your mobile phone when you go out, in an emergency, you have to borrow someone else's mobile phone to log in, or find a random computer outside to log in.

In this unexpected situation, we must choose another device to log in to our WeChat. Of course, when we log in to WeChat with other devices for the first time, we must authenticate before we can use it. But it is worth mentioning that the next time you use this device to log in, you do not need to perform relevant authentication operations, because your WeChat has already recorded that this device is a normal device.

But many people don’t realize that after you change the device, you may leave yourself with huge security risks. Some criminals may seize this opportunity and steal it. Our personal information.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, we can use a little trick to avoid these troubles. Check through the login devices in your WeChat to see which WeChat devices you often log in to. All the devices here are in the whitelist. As long as you log in from these devices, you can log in to WeChat immediately. No need to Any certification.

First we need to open our own WeChat, then find "Me" in the lower right corner, click it, go in and find the "Settings" button, and find "Account and Security" in "Settings", then we You can see that there is an option to log in to device management in "Account and Security". You can check which devices are allowed to log in under this WeChat account. These devices do not require authentication when logging in. Otherwise, authentication is required to complete the login.

If you see some of the device names when logging in in public places among these devices, then you must delete the device. Because this device is in a public place, it is very likely that other people can use it anytime and anywhere, which will cause the leakage of personal information. There are some criminals who specifically choose these private hacking devices to steal our personal information, and then use this information in exchange for money.

As we all know, there are many people online who specialize in selling other people's personal information to make money in this way. For each of us users, if personal information is leaked, it will bring many negative impacts and inconveniences to our daily lives.

You must have received harassing phone calls, and they will also send you many spam text messages. Even if you take all precautions, over time, you may be deceived one day, and you will regret it when your property is damaged.

If your WeChat is also bound to many very important bank cards, and there is a lot of money in these bank cards, then you must pay attention and try to delete these public cards from the list** *equipment.

In addition, everyone must also pay attention. If you do not bring your mobile phone and you have to borrow a friend’s mobile phone to log in to WeChat, you must make sure that the other person’s character is trustworthy. Because as we said above, if you log in to WeChat with a friend's mobile phone and forget to log out of the account after using it, there will be certain hidden dangers.

When your friend opens WeChat again, he will log in directly to your WeChat, and then all your privacy will be exposed to your friend. If your friend is not familiar with you or has a bad character, he may even steal your property.

In today's big data era, each of our information seems to be transparent. In this case, if our information is leaked, people from various industries will know our phone number, name, etc., and then they will harass us from time to time.

WeChat was just a tool we used for chatting at first, but now it has become a source of important information, and we can find everything about a person, so we have to pay attention to it!
