Spam is an inevitable evil that awaits almost any user on the Internet. Alas, it is impossible to completely protect oneself from it. Using the World Wide Web, you will periodically come across spam. So what is spam?
Spam is a massive unsolicited distribution of advertisements, links, which is carried out primarily to mailboxes, forums, instant messaging programs or social networks. This is the so-called "network garbage" that regularly gets on the nerves of Internet users.
Spam often contains harmful links, which can be followed to introduce a dangerous virus onto your computer. And viruses are developed by real professionals. It is possible that the hackers who wrote the virus will be able to gain access to all your passwords in a short time, including passwords to electronic wallets, and then in the blink of an eye withdraw all your money from there.
Also, spam messages often contain a call to transfer money, for example, to charity. A photograph of a sick child or animal must be attached to the letter, and especially compassionate citizens cannot refrain from translating. However, where your money will actually go is a big question. Most likely, they will fall straight into the hands of scammers.
Perhaps someone received "letters of happiness" telling that there is no better and more profitable job than sending virtual wallets to mailboxes. The "work" algorithm is simple - a small amount of money should be transferred to the upper wallet on the list, and then you need to add your wallet number to the list and send spam. And after all, many people really believed in the “amazing” possibilities of such “work”, and sent their money to crooks.
This is why it is so important to use anti-virus and anti-spam software. For example, various antispam filters protect against spam. They need to be constantly used and updated, but do not forget that Internet scammers will always figure out how to bypass the protection of these programs. Most importantly, common sense should always be used in the vastness of the web. If you are in doubt about something, do not hesitate to ask knowledgeable people for advice.
