When surfing the net, certain pop-ups appear as an ad or link redirecting you to another website. Though some are secured networks, most pose a threat to your online data.
They can intrude on your data history and penetrate your phone’s barrier. Such action leads to certain bugs and viruses gaining access to your phone from a mere link online.
Cybercriminals and links from the dark web carry bugs and scams, as they pose as legitimate sites. Certain things distinguish a counterfeit site from a real website. Some include spelling errors, wrong IP addresses, and email addresses. Always look out for these clues to prevent insecure links. Minimize the way you click on redirecting links.
Install Antivirus Softwares
