🔍 Hackers created fake QR codes to steal the accounts of military and volunteers on Signal, potentially exposing critical information like operation plans or contacts. For example, one fake QR code could have been on a flyer about aid, which was actually run by attackers pretending to be a charitable organization.
✅ Update your Signal app to get the latest security fixes.
✅ Don't scan QR codes from unknown sources, even if they seem official. For example, if you received a code via email or messenger, rather than from a trusted source, it's safer to verify it first.
✅ Enable Signal PIN for extra security (Settings → Privacy → Signal PIN) to prevent unauthorized access. If your account has already been compromised, using a PIN will help stop further access attempts.
