It's easy to hack. Your hacked "FB friend" will ask you for otp code sent to you. You give. Actually the OTP code is to reset your email password. After hacker reset your email password, he will proceed to reset your shopper password, then takes control vof your shoppee account. Then will proceed to buy iTunes game card.

And by the way, since he already hack your email account, he will proceed to reset your FB password and take over your FB.

He will then contact all your FB friends to ask for otp code. Surely one of your friends will fall for it.

It's not a stranger. It's an FB account of your friend that has just been hijacked. Naturally, you'd give the OTP without much thought because it's your friend.

It's OTP to reset your email password. Once you give the email reset OTP to your "FB friend", he will take over your email account.

Having access to your email account opens up countless possibility to reset other passwords from other services.

You would give the email reset OTP to your "FB friend" because he won't specifically ask for OTP. He would ask something like...

(This is the actual hacker's message:)

"Shopee has a special campaign for the 4th year, if I get 5 votes, I'll win a gift voucher with you. I'll send you a message send me message copy ?"

Many people will fall for it if the message came from their FB friend.

Again, having access to your email account opens up countless possibility to reset other passwords from other services including lazada, shopee and facebook.

If the service allows, setting up 2-factor Authentication is the best way to prevent people hacking into your accounts

You be surprise, many will still fall for it even the OTP message contains warning

Btw, read what I said - it's not shoppee OTP that the hacker will ask for. It's email reset OTP.

No point arguing with your on the technicalities of the meaning of the word 'hack" or "scam".

In computer security, your security is only as strong as the weakest link.

Yes, you're so clever. Not everyone is as smart as you.

No point farking. He would just move on to another victim. You think he will take your farking personally? He's just doing his job in the syndicate. 🙂
