"VKontakte": defrosting the page and preventing from "infections"

So, you have your page on the social network. You use it, enjoy life - but once, instead of the usual kind of your profile, you see a funny picture and the inscription: "... we discovered suspicious activity ..." and then text that tells you about the blocking of your page (sometimes the reason for freezing the profile is reported). At your friends, when they come to your page, a slightly different text will appear on the same background, which contains information that your page is frozen. And so that someone who can contact you, told you that everything is in order, you just need to unlock the account. What can be done if you suffered such a disaster in "VKontakte"? "Defrosting" the page - how does it happen and what is needed for this? And anyway, why did you "freeze"?

Causes

So, the main reason for freezing the VKontakte page is a virus. To receive this "gift" it is possible in several ways - if you have passed on any strange link or downloaded an unfamiliar and untested program. One of these viruses poses as the validation of the account (the so-called confirmation of your page using the phone) and asks you to send free SMS. If you fall for this bait, there will not be a defrost of the VKontakte page. The virus will simply gain access to your phone and withdraw all the money that is there. And in the worst case, he will continue to shoot them after the balance is replenished.

How to understand what really happened?

Very simple. In the social network "VKontakte" defrosting of the page occurs as follows - you enter the phone number in the corresponding field and the verification code comes to this number, after which the main part of the procedure is completed. If, after entering the number, you are asked to send a message to someone else's phone number from the phone - this means that you were hacked. It is important to remember - in the VKontakte network, defrosting the page consists of only one step - entering the number. The administration of the site never asks for a return SMS.

If your page is frozen for sending out spam, adding more than 50 people (per day) to the list of friends, "winding up" voices and hearts, etc., then the page will be unblocked after a while if the cases are single. However, all the reasons will be indicated on the site of your page.

What should I do if there is still no thawing of the page in "VKontakte"?

If all attempts to return the page are vain, then you have another way out - register again. Of course, all information will be lost, but nothing can be done about it. You can link a new page to the same number as the old one was registered. And try not to expose your account to a new danger. In no case do not go to sites that are not trustworthy, and if it happens by accident - immediately close them. In addition, you need to carefully read the rules of the social network, so as not to commit any acts that violate the laws established by the administration. Well, it would be nice to install a good anti-virus program, in order to secure not only the page in the social network, but the entire computer.
