NEW DELHI: Cybercriminals are coming up with new and clever ways to break into people’s devices, especially smartphones and laptops.
In the latest incident, a government employee from Hingoli district in the Indian state of Maharashtra fell victim to a sophisticated cyber scam when fraudsters used a wedding invitation to gain access to his phone.
The victim received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number that said, “Welcome, please attend the wedding, love is the key that opens the doors of happiness.” The message included an attachment that appeared to be a PDF file.
The file was actually an Android application package, and once installed, it gave the hackers full access to the victim’s phone, allowing them to steal PKR 190,000 from his bank account.
