How to protect your Telegram from hacking: 5 tips

There are many ways to break telegrams, but only professionals do it. The most common method is to intercept the sms message with the authorization code.

To strengthen the protection of your telegraph, we recommend following the following tips:

Use two-factor authorization with a complex password

This can be done in the application settings. Enhanced protection slightly complicates the entry for you, and for hackers makes hacking almost impossible.

Remember the password and do not set "backup e-mail"

With a spare e-mail address calmer - a forgotten password can be restored at any time with the help of mail. But this convenience can also be used by hackers - it is much easier to crack the spare mail than the telegram itself. Having access to the mail, attackers can easily get to the messenger.

Turn on the "Passcode Lock"

Such a point is in the security settings. Every time you enter the telegrams, the application will ask you to enter the pin code set in the settings. This works like a phone lock - if the smartphone is lost, another person will not be able to use your account.

Do not answer telegrams from strangers

If an unknown number rings in telegrams, do not answer. This may well be intruders who want to know the number to which the account is tied. Knowing the phone number, they are 50% easier to hack themselves.

Access your account from another phone or tablet

If something happens to the main device, you can immediately log into the account from the other and secure it.
