fast_editing Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hello friends,recently i got a buyer message. he had mentioned - he wanted to buy my gig and he had sent a rar / zip file of his requirement.when i did open that attachment - i got socked - that compressed file was exe and doc file - which is too dangerous virus like “ranshamware”i’m quite aware about that. so i stop that before hack my pc and fiverr account.SO please beware and careful about opening zip file of buyer message. it can be virus and hack your account.
