    Odisha police warns about Olivia porn hoax on WhatsApp

    The shadow cyber games space is keeping the Odisha police on their toes. Just days after it issued an advisory against the killer 'Momo Challenge' game being circulated on WhatsApp, Odisha police have now issued another advisory on something called the 'Olivia Hoax', a spam porn message being circulated on WhatsApp that is targeting unsuspecting children. Here are the details.

    First, what is the Olivia Hoax?

    The Olivia Hoax looks to lure unsuspecting children on to porn sites. For the hoax, the sender pretends to be friend of a friend, or an existing friend of a WhatsApp number. When a WhatsApp user engages with the unknown sender, he/she sends a link that, on the pretext of showing a photo of Olivia, lures the user to porn sites.
