LINE fills in the account number on the "auxiliary authentication" page of the chat room. This is fake!

In addition to frequent text message scam harassment recently, be careful that you may also encounter dangerous messages from friends or strangers on LINE. Recently, you may also receive links and pages on LINE that ask you to click on “auxiliary authentication”. Be careful, these are all fake! Never click on such unfamiliar links, and do not enter your account number, password and SMS verification code on this page, otherwise your account will be directly stolen!

In the LINE chat room, the account is filled in on the “auxiliary authentication” page. This is fake!

As social platforms have become channels for people to socialize, mainstream instant messaging software such as LINE has a large number of users. Many people use LINE every day to communicate with friends and family. Even work contacts between clients may use LINE for real-time communication. However, a new chat room fraud model has recently emerged on LINE. Be careful, this method may directly steal your LINE account!
If you have recently received a LINE message from a LINE friend or stranger, asking for LINE friend assisted authentication, all such situations that require you to enter your account number on the “auxiliary authentication” page are all fake.

First of all, be careful not to click on such unknown and unfamiliar links, because LINE has not officially launched any “auxiliary authentication” mechanism. Moreover, the “LINE authentication links” sent through LINE chat rooms are all fake. Even if the page looks real, don’t be fooled.
In this fake auxiliary authentication page, users will be asked to enter their account number, password and even SMS authentication code. If they input all this information stupidly, it will be equivalent to allowing the fraud group to obtain the account number, password and authentication code remotely, and directly steal your LINE account. The most dangerous of these three pieces of information is the “SMS verification code”. Do not give the LINE SMS verification code to anyone, otherwise your account may be at risk.

LINE officials once again remind users to pay attention to the following three points:

LINE has not officially launched any “auxiliary authentication” mechanism.
The “LINE authentication links” sent through the “chat room” are all fake.
In particular, do not give the “SMS verification code” to anyone, otherwise your account will be stolen.

In fact, in addition to remembering not to click on unfamiliar links in LINE chat rooms, and not to enter account numbers, passwords, SMS verification codes and related important personal information from unknown pages, you can avoid falling victim to the endless new fraud methods that are emerging in this social era. Mainstream social networking and instant messaging platforms such as LINE, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have a large number of users, making them easy platforms for account theft and fraud.
Once your account is stolen, it may also affect important relatives and friends around you. The other party may be deceived and deceived accidentally based on trust. There will continue to be new fraud methods in the future, so while we enjoy the fun of social interaction, we also need to use it with caution to avoid losing important accounts to ourselves!
