How fraudsters exploit technology
In today's digital world, scammers are exploiting technology's vulnerabilities to carry out fraud, with one prevalent method being the use of malware.
 
HOW FRAUDSTERS USE MALWARE TO SCAM THEIR VICTIMS?
To better understand how the scam works, let’s look through the perspective of the scammer.

As a scammer, what is my main goal in committing malware fraud?
I commit fraud to gain easy money.

How do I profit from committing fraud?
I obtain the victim’s banking information, compromise their bank account to transfer money to myself, and profit by selling other personal and sensitive information.


How do I execute my scams?
I create links to bait my victims into clicking them, initiating a download of malware onto their digital devices so I can steal any form of information on them.
I pretend to be a seller and manipulate users into downloading an .APK file through chats, convincing them it’s necessary to make a payment.
I make victims believe they have won a reward and lead them to download an application to claim it.
I mirror my software to look as close as possible to the official one, making it more likely that victims will download it.
 
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST MALWARE ATTACKS
BE CAUTIOUS when browsing websites, clicking on links or downloading files, especially .APK files from unofficial stores as they might contain malware. Always check the URL for authenticity.
BE SURE to use strong, unique passwords.
BE WARY of email attachments from unknown senders.
