SLNA players were blackmailed and became the target of "hacker" attacks
(Baonghean.vn) - Many Nghe An players have been and are becoming targets of "hackers" with the intention of defrauding and profiting. The latest cases are Nguyen Manh and Phi Son.
One of the first people to get into trouble from social networks was Coach Nguyen Huu Thang. The former head coach of the Vietnam National Team was impersonated by many people, who created fake Facebook accounts to scam and take advantage of his reputation to buy game cards and phones. Not long after, when Coach Nguyen Duc Thang had just become the captain of the Nghe An football team, he was also impersonated by some bad guys.
In fact, Coach Huu Thang and Coach Duc Thang do not use Facebook and there are many cases where Fanpages and accounts are created by fans.
Defender Pham Xuan Manh also had his personal account illegally taken over by a hacker. However, just a few days after losing his personal account with a blue tick (Verify Blue Tick - for famous people such as singers, journalists, politicians and major media), the SLNA player, with the support of his friends, was able to get his account back.

Nguyen Manh's wife warned friends when her husband's account was hacked. |
In the context of the current security of social networks being threatened and users in general facing many problems, it is understandable that famous players and stars with large followings become the target of hackers.
According to experts, the reason why Facebook accounts are hacked is because users do not know how to use security layers and accidentally click on strange links. After taking over Facebook accounts, hackers learn how to talk in messages, from there they continuously send messages to the friend list and ask for money transfer, then ask the victim to click on the link to confirm that it is the account receiving the money, and that link is malware.
Therefore, social network users need to be highly vigilant with tricks of asking friends to transfer money, buy phone cards and should not click on strange links of unknown origin that are widely shared on Facebook./.
