1ºI hope the social media platforms are doing something to stop these hackers and protect their users. They should have some kind of system to detect and block suspicious links or accounts. They should also warn their users about the risks of clicking on unknown links or downloading unknown files. They should also cooperate with the authorities to track down and punish the hackers.

This news makes me more careful about what I do online. I don’t want to be spied on by some foreign hackers who might use my information for their own purposes. I think everyone should be more aware and vigilant about their online activities and security. You never know who might be watching or listening.
