According to experts, recent scammers often target people who want to make money from online applications and jobs.
Through links sent in text messages, cybercriminals can silently install malware on the phone. From there, they can steal information and appropriate money from the victim's bank account.
In the announcements made by some banks, recently there have been many types of malware, impersonating public service applications or virtual currency mining applications in Vietnam. These applications directly target Android smartphone users.
When installing these applications and software, users' phones may be infected with malware. From there, cybercriminals will access call information, contacts, photos, messages, microphones, cameras, etc.
Not only that, hackers can also manipulate the screen without the permission of the device owner. From there, scammers can steal account information, passwords or OTP codes and steal money from the bank account on the victim's device.
iPhone users running lower versions of iOS are also likely to be targeted by cybercriminals. Hackers will exploit a vulnerability in the iMessage feature on iOS 15.7 and earlier to spread messages with malicious code attached.
The message then automatically activates the malware. Through the Internet connection, hackers can monitor, collect information, and control the device without the iPhone user knowing.
Some signs that your smartphone may be infected with malware include the device running slowly, application response time taking longer than usual, battery draining quickly even without opening many applications, mobile data (3/4G) draining quickly, or the device heating up abnormally.
Experts recommend that users only install applications from official stores such as Google Play and the App Store. In addition, users also need to regularly update their device's operating system to always receive the latest security patches.
In addition, when suspecting that the phone is infected with malware, users need to quickly contact the bank to temporarily block services until the device is determined to be safe.
