Recently, such terms as northern Myanmar, Southeast Asia and telecom fraud have frequently appeared in the hot searches of all kinds of social media and triggered extensive discussion. The incident of being cheated has really made many people feel the same way. Or themselves or their relatives and friends have basically experienced a certain degree of "being deceived". Some people are vigilant and successfully protect their own property, while others give lawbreakers a chance because they are simple in mind.

The editor brushed a new term in the relevant report, that is, "sharing screen". The principle is that illegal personnel outside the country ask the victim to hand over the security key actively after asking the victim to download the screen sharing software. then continue to instruct the victim to operate the device step by step in telephone or information communication, so as to achieve the purpose they want.

After a detailed understanding of the complete process, the editor found that the culprit of the fraud was not the pot of applications such as Tencent Conference and ToDesk remote Assistance, and the tools had nothing to do with the fraud itself. It was mainly due to users' lack of security awareness and lack of risk avoidance that led to loopholes and property losses.

Below, the editor will teach you how to correctly use "shared screen" and "remote control", open various security settings and fix the basic security operations, so that you can successfully resist the risk of fraud!

[1. Raise safety awareness and do not divulge equipment information]

The logic of remote cross-system and cross-device operation is realized through ToDesk, which adopts the end-to-end encrypted connection mode. To put it simply, after seeing or knowing the device code and temporary password of ToDesk in one device, you can successfully see all the pictures of the target device by inputting the information of these two codes into the device used by the other and clicking the connection or remote control key.

Under normal circumstances, the double code information is not known to others unless disclosed by the user himself, including the staff of the ToDesk product side does not know how much code is randomly generated and assigned to the user. Therefore, remember not to tell others the dual-code connection information, and do not accept remote invitations from unknown people.

[2. Adjust the password update frequency and set the exclusive password]

If the double code information is inadvertently seen by others or the connection information has been told to others during the daily remote operation, the connection password needs to be updated and changed in time.

You can click the small pencil logo or the security settings at the top of the left function bar-Advanced Settings. You can adjust the update frequency of temporary passwords and set new complex connection passwords at the specified location.

[3. Open the privacy screen to prevent operation information from being peeped]

In addition to preventing the device from being controlled by others, when we control our own other devices or other devices, it is recommended to turn on the privacy screen function in time and disable the keyboard and mouse function on the controlled side. In this way, any operation we do is invisible to others and cannot be moved, especially when the remote control device is not around us.

As the saying goes, "the heart of harm must not be, and the heart of prevention must not be absent." Although we can avoid deceiving others or prying into other people's privacy, it is inevitable that there are villains in society who love to cause trouble, so in order to improve the security of remote use, the security function needs to be turned on.

Summary:

With the popularity of diversified office methods and the increase in the number of young people studying and working in different places, the demand for remote assistance software and screen sharing software is growing rapidly, and security awareness should be raised day by day. The above introduction of the three safe modes of operation, I hope that you can learn a more safe and secure way of use, effectively avoid information disclosure or fraud.
