Cyber Crime
Social media related fraud
The social media user base has increased manifold in past few years as almost all strata of the society using websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram for business, entertainment, gossip or to pursue their interests and keep abreast of the developments. Several modus operandi are used to defraud the users.
Email Hacking
In this crime, a hacker illegally gains access to a laptop/ desktop/ tablet computer. For the purpose, the hacker sends an email or a link in social media/ online platform. Once the unsuspecting victim opens it, with help of specialized software the hackers can steal details such as password of banks, transaction details and email conversations. The method is also used sometimes to harass a person by sending unwanted, disturbing images.
SIM Swapping Fraud
With improved security for online accounts, mobile phone has become a key factor to break into these accounts. If a person experiences fraudulent practice, he/she approaches police but what if the one-time password (OTP) was basis of the transaction? Fraudsters swap SIM or copy information which can be transferred across devices.
Customer Care Fraud
Citizens primarily resort to searching online for helpline of various brands. The fraudsters can get contact details right from the company’s open access fora or can spoof a website that looks the same as original to steal data. Likewise, the fraudsters create websites with alternative contact numbers for lodging a complaint. Once a person lodges complaint, he/she is asked to make payment towards various charges. The caller can also assure the citizens that they wanted the bank account details for refund but once the bank and account details are provided, the fraudsters transfer the funds.
Ransomware Attack
Ransom is now collected by the criminal’s expert in online programming and hacking by locking down a remote server or individual system. If the system is not protected properly by firewall, these criminals can get access to an individual computer or network of computers and encrypt all data. The method renders computer useless for the person. Hackers do it to demand ransom – payment either through anonymous sources online or Bitcoin to ‘release’ the computer system.
E-commerce related fraud
Be cautious while using websites like OLX to buy or sell items. Cheaters create false account here on websites as seller and upload pictures of costly goods and items to be sold at cheaper rates. During conversations, they win confidence of the buyer and ask for advance payment, once payment is done by the buyer, goods / items are never delivered.
