Recently, there are rumors on the Internet that there is a virus in the Mid-Autumn Festival WeChat red envelopes. Is this news true?

The official has come out to refute the rumor, saying that it is untrue. It is impossible to spread mobile phone viruses on WeChat through WeChat red envelopes. It is impossible for real WeChat red envelopes to carry any viruses. However, although WeChat red envelopes do not carry viruses, there are other strange red envelopes that carry viruses. At this time, you must learn to distinguish between what is a real red envelope and what is a virus wrapped in a red envelope shell. The real red envelope is not a connection. After entering, you do not need to fill in any information, nor do you need to enter a payment password. As long as you accept it, it will be directly credited to your account.

The reason why this rumor became popular in this circle of friends is because it involves the issue of "money", and the name "Public Security Internet Police" was also included in this rumor. Many people felt that after seeing it, Panic began to spread. The content of this rumor is: "If the cover of the Mid-Autumn Festival WeChat red envelope is a picture of "the moon on the 15th day and the 16th round", delete it immediately because it will steal all the relevant information in your mobile phone. This information was later confirmed is untrue.

Although this piece of information is incorrect and is a rumor, there are indeed criminals who will spread viruses in similar ways to steal information or even bank account balances. At this time You must learn to distinguish the difference between real WeChat red envelopes and fake WeChat red envelopes. The first point is that the real WeChat red envelopes are official WeChat and are real "red envelope style", not a link containing a red envelope icon, so WeChat red envelopes are not issued in the form of a link.

The second point is that WeChat red envelopes can be received directly with just one click, and there is no need to enter any information. Fake red envelopes require people to fill in the information before they can receive the red envelope. At this time, you should pay attention to the fact that most of these "red envelopes" are used by criminals to steal information, and even store viruses in the connection. When you open the red envelope, Information can be stolen in an instant.
