According to the online economy report, quoted by Tasnim, Col. Javad Mukhtarrezaei, the cultural and social deputy of Fata Faraja police, referring to the sending of fake links through social networks and internal and external messengers, said: in recent days, some cybercriminals, taking advantage of citizens’ concerns about the disruptions created, sent messages with titles such as “updating Mobile Bank”, “installing a new version” or “fixing the problem” and forcing users to download and install infected versions. Banking applications encourage.
He added: By directing users to fake pages and installing malicious and spying malware on their mobile phones, these people provide the basis for stealing bank information, unauthorized access to financial accounts, and illegal withdrawals from citizens’ accounts.
The cultural and social deputy of Fata Faraja Police emphasized: To update banking applications, citizens should refer to the official website of the relevant bank or to reliable and approved markets and refrain from downloading any files or software from unknown sources and links sent in SMS and internal and external messengers.
In the end, Mukhtar Rezaei asked the citizens, if they see suspicious cases or encounter cyber crimes and frauds, to report the issue through the Fata Police website at policefata.ir or call the Fata Police Cyber Emergency Center at 096380.
