Pirates exhaust bank accounts and theft of identification information for smartphones users using a new and very effective technique.
Cybersecurity researchers say that criminals are now sending text messages that seem to come from banks and delivery services – with joint malicious pdf files, reports Samsung Magazine.
PDFs contain links that use security defects and install malware, or links that send users directly to banking websites, encouraging users to people to enter their connection details.
Victims of the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom have already undergone financial losses after opening the fraudulent PDFs.
Researchers say that people tend to trust PDF more than links, and the method increases the chances that users fall in love with the scam.
Although SMS phishing and PDF attacks based on emails have existed for years, the tactics of sending malicious PDF directly via SMS texts is a new turn.
To stay safe, safety experts recommend that Apple and Android users avoid opening up PDFs for unknown shipowners, check messages with official sources, keep smartphones up to date and use antivirus software to warn malicious software infections.
