Security News > 2020 > December > Naked Security Live – Watch out for Messenger scams

Here's our latest Naked Security Live talk, discussing IM scams and how to avoid them, as well as giving you some pointers on how to think like a scammer and thereby stay one step ahead. Don't forget that receiving a message from a friend's account doesn't always mean your friend actually sent the message - if their account has been hacked, then it could be a crook using your friend's name to trick you.
