How cyber thugs are making people their victims
Cyber criminals carry out phishing attacks on people during Amazon sale. In this, they lure people by showing them huge discounts and great offers. First of all, these people use social media to collect information about the users and then send them fake messages that look like real ones and contain information about fake offers.
Cyber criminals also provide links with viruses in these messages, with the help of which the username, password and payment details of people’s accounts reach the hackers. Many such cases of cyber fraud have come to light in the US. Where people have been cheated by creating fake sites.
