FACE IT I’m a tech expert and anyone joining Facebook’s new Threads app must watch out for nasty trick

THE SUN SAYS AN expert has warned of the hidden dangers that could be lurking on Mark Zuckerberg’s new Threads app.

The Twitter rival attracted ten million people in the first seven hours of launching.

But Jake Moore, Global Security Advisor at ESET, says users should watch out for fraudsters jumping on all the excitement.

Fake accounts could be a particularly big problem early on.

More so because people can buy a blue tick verification badge through Instagram now.

“As with any new platform, there is always a scramble at the beginning to gain a following and traction,” he told the MailOnline.
