Click links with caution
Are you sure about the link you about to click? Spamming link is one of the most common ways to compromise a social account. When you click on those links unknowingly and give in your login details -- Congratulation, you just gave your credentials to the spammers. This process is popularly known as Phishing.
Avoid Third-Party Integration
These days, most of us log into websites or apps that we just installed through our Facebook ID or Twitter ID. By doing this, you are giving the app or website permission to access your personal information making your side more vulnerable to hacking and stuff.
While it is tough to make out who is genuine and who is not, it's better to avoid any kind of integration to third-party apps.
Add your phone number on Twitter
Apart from text passwords, the company offers extra protection for your account by integrating your mobile number. In order to register your phone number, Tap on Settings and Privacy -> Account -> Phone Number.
Once you enter your phone number, you will get a confirmation SMS from Twitter asking you enter OTP for registration.
Always follow people you know
This is the most important steps you need to execute. Always follow the people and celebrities that you know or verified. There are lots of chances of you getting spam links from unknown accounts asking you to fill the form or help in one or other manner. So be cautious of these people.
