However, it is important to clarify this situation. The message circulating on social media suggests that downloading images related to the earthquake can lead to computer viruses. This phenomenon is not new: similar message chains have appeared in the pastoften exploiting highly current events to generate panic among less experienced users.

Despite the excitement generated by this information, Bufale.net confirms that so far they confirm the existence of a virus linked to this “Seismic Waves Card”.
who have actually received such a message nor official declarations from the competent authorities. This obviously raises questions about the reliability of the sources who are spreading such news.
In the case of the “Seismic Waves Card” there are no suspicious links or attachments
The message presents itself similarly to other past viral alerts, which have used phrases like “everyone talks about it” to push people to pay attention and, in some cases, share the news further. This tactic creates a sense of urgency and can lead to a impulsive reactionprompting users to share the message without proper verification.

In short, there is no reason to be alarmed about this alleged chain of messages on WhatsApp. The current situation suggests that fears related to an alleged cyber attack derived from images of the earthquake in Morocco are unfounded. It is always advisable to exercise caution and be wary of unverified newsespecially when it comes to digital security. The truth is that, at the moment, there are no elements that justify such an alert.
