Gurugram police issues advisory after receiving 60 cyber complaints in 20 days
By MYBRANDBOOK
Gurugram police have received about 60 cyber complaints in the first 20 days of January. The police issued an advisory and appealed to the general public of the city not to download screen-sharing apps on their mobiles at anyone’s request.
The Gurugram police in advisory mention some preventive measures like do not download any suspicious app on the device when you get a call from an unknown person. Before giving remote access to the device (Tech Support) the technical support should identify the caller properly.
Do not click on any hyperlink (blue text) in SMS. Immediately press aeroplane mode on the mobile and immediately report any cyber fraud on 1930. DCP Upasana said various IT companies use several apps like Anydesk, team viewer, TechSupport etc to remotely access their electronic devices, giving their employees the option to work from home.
The DCP said, “60 such cyber complaints have been received since the start of this year. Cyber criminals first collect information related to the victim by using various social sites like Linkedin app, Facebook etc. Then, call the victim (known as phishing) by providing technical support in the name of KYC update, electricity bill update, credit card or debit card details update, Aadhaar card update etc and ask them to install screen sharing apps in their phones. As soon as the app is installed cyber criminals get access to the victim's device and thereby dupe money from their payment wallets and net banking apps.”
