Identification of username based account can be difficult. Also, by using similar usernames, people can cause harm by committing cyber fraud. Apart from this, there will be a risk of fake identity. Cyber thugs can take advantage of this feature. In this the difference between real and fake will be erased. The risk of copying brands and celebrities will also increase. Spam messages will increase. This can be a challenge for an investigating agency like ED. The risk of social engineering attacks will also increase.
Here, Meta’s messaging company WhatsApp has said that the usernames of celebrities and popular people will be reserved in the public space. This is an optional service.
