These malicious actors are sending deceptive notifications claiming various issues such as channel termination, demonetization, content blocks, and page restrictions.
⚠️ How to Identify Fishing Notices:
- Unsolicited Links: Be cautious of any unsolicited links claiming to resolve issues with your account.
- Urgent Requests: Hackers often create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to take immediate action.

- Suspicious Email Addresses: Check the sender’s email address for any inconsistencies or unfamiliar domains.
⛔️ What to Do If You Receive a Fishing Notice:
- Do Not Click: Avoid clicking on any suspicious links, as they may lead to malware downloads or attempts to steal your credentials.
- Report: Report the message to the respective platform’s support team immediately.
- Verify: If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of a notification, contact the platform directly through official channels to verify its authenticity.
🔒 Protect Your Accounts:
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your accounts with two-factor authentication.
- Stay Informed: Educate yourself and stay updated on common phishing tactics to better identify and avoid potential threats.
- Think Before You Click: Always exercise caution and skepticism when interacting with messages or links, especially those claiming urgent action is required.
