Can someone hack into your Cash App just by knowing your cashtag? My friend thinks it happened to them.

No, a cashtag alone isn’t enough to hack your Cash App. It’s like a public address for transactions, not a key to your account. Your friend likely experienced something else if funds are missing.

To protect your phone and apps like Cash App:

  1. Strong PINs & Biometrics: Use unique, complex PINs and face/fingerprint unlock.
  2. Update OS & Apps: Keep your phone’s software and all apps current.
  3. Enable 2FA: Add a second verification step for all accounts.
  4. Watch for Phishing: Be suspicious of unexpected messages/links. Cash App will never ask for your PIN.
