Some Hornet accounts are used for threats by other users, how can I protect myself?

If someone on Hornet threatens you or behaves abusively, don’t respond to further contact and use the in-app reporting tools so moderators can review and remove bad actors under Hornet’s community guidelines.

Keeping your profile minimal and vague about personal info (no real address, workplace, or family details) reduces what strangers can misuse.

Always avoid moving conversations to external apps (like WhatsApp), as scam reports often involve this tactic before threats escalate.

Protect your account with a strong, unique password and enable device security (PIN/Face ID) to stop others from accessing your Hornet data.

If threats feel serious or involve extortion, file your complaint on Xolvie to bring attention to the issue.
