Nove prijevarne radnje na tržištu elektroničkih komunikacija: Zlonamjerni virus stiže putem SMS-a!
SMS porukom korisnik se obavještava o prispijeću paketa i potrebi preuzimanja aplikacije za praćenje pošiljke. I tu, ako smo neoprezni, nastaje problem!
ZAGREB, 26. ožujka 2021. - U nekoliko europskih zemalja u posljednje je vrijeme uočena pojava novog opasnog virusa koji se širi putem SMS poruka, pa samim time prijevara primarno ugrožava korisnike mobilnih uređaja. Za sada HAKOM nema saznanja da se ovaj virus distribuira i putem mreža hrvatskih operatora, no malo više opreza nije naodmet. Prema informacijama kojima HAKOM raspolaže, radi se SMS poruci kojom se obavještavaju korisnici da su dobili paket te ih se upućuje na internetsku stranicu putem koje trebaju preuzeti aplikaciju za praćenje pošiljke.
Maliciozni kod vrlo je opasan, a nakon što se putem SMS poruke aktivira aplikacija, uređaj postaje neupotrebljiv za daljnje korištenje, može doći do krađe osobnih podataka te virus dalje šalje iste takve SMS poruke svima u kontakt listi korisnika, čiji su uređaji također u opasnosti.
