If there are doubts about authenticity, the scammers offer to send a control notification from the official bank number. And a real SMS from the bank number arrives, with a notification code (when people try to log into their personal account, the bank sends a notification with a code).
, the outcome is predictable: the person gives remote access to his phone with his own hands, on which some online banking application is installed. Transferring money from a card linked to the phone/application becomes a matter of literally a couple of seconds.
SealSecurity Tales: Unexpected Update
Vladimir Bezmaly | 06.02.2020
- Hello, Kirill!
- Hi, Tanya! Oh, how great you look! As if you just ghana whatsapp data from the beach. And it's January outside.
- Yes, that's right, just from the beach, I was on holiday in India. Lazed around on the beach. Got away from our slush and cold. At least I warmed up.
— And what are your impressions?
— Amazing! The sun, the sea!!! I just have some problems with Viber. You know that I have two smartphones. One is old, still on Windows Phone, I only use it to go online, it is always in airplane mode, and the second is a dialer for the latest version of Android. It’s convenient for me!
- So what?
— Well, you know that Viber can't work on two devices at the same time. I decided to buy a local SIM card there, it's cheaper. So I moved the messenger to my Android smartphone. And the miracles began.
- What are you talking about?
— Yes, right away some left-wing messages and advertisements started pouring in... There was nothing like that on the old one.
— When you arrived, did you move it back?
- Well, yes. I flew in the day before yesterday.
— And what about advertising?
- She's not there. That's why I decided to ask you, what's wrong?
- Everything is fine, you are doing well. After all, the advertising has stopped! Do you have your phones with you?
- Yes, here they are.
- Let's go to my place, have some coffee, I'll have a look.
An hour passed.
- Well?
— The messenger hasn't been updated on Windows Phone for a long time. The difference is almost seven versions. That's the whole reason. Apparently, the developers wanted more money, so they decided to sell the platform to advertising companies. It's simple.
- But this is inconvenient!
— To whom? To users? So what? The developer cares about profit, not users!
This is a true story. A similar story happened to a good friend of mine. So I remind you once again: you and I are just a commodity. And we should get used to it!
