When was the last time you went to the bank to run an errand?With the increasing power of mobile phones, major banks have launched their own mobile apps, which can now be done with just a few fingers on the phone, which used to require leave to go to the counter in person. If it weren't for the fact that they had to go to the counter to do business, many people would not choose to go to the bank for a trip.
The combination of mobile phones and the Internet has brought a lot of convenience to people's lives to a large extent. However, at the same time as this convenience, we also found that there seem to be some "mysteries" hidden in the mobile phone.
Some of the "new **" that have popped up recently have caused many people to lose some money unconsciously.
More and more people are becoming wary of "air-to-air money", and although e-commerce is booming, brick-and-mortar stores still play an important role in our lives. Despite the great convenience offered by mobile banking, banking lobbies are still ubiquitous. As a result, some transactions that require in-person operations may be notified by the bank.
In this process, it is the opportunity to give the "**" a chance. In order to arouse your alarm, they may resort to various means, such as bank system upgrades, account anomalies, etc.
Before you know it, they will direct you to click on some links or provide some personal information, and eventually achieve the goal of scamming you out of money.
When you mistake ** for real customer service, you are likely to follow their guidance and perform a series of actions. This may not only leak personal information such as name, mobile phone number, ID number, bank card number, but also directly lead to being defrauded of funds.
However, many people may argue that they don't click on links for a long time. However, even so, there are still people who will be cheated out of their money without knowing it.
We have to think, what is going on?In their descriptions, they may have never clicked on an unfamiliar link or followed the other person's request.
* Often well-versed in social engineering and good at exploiting psychological loopholes. They may pretend to be a bank customer service or other official institution to create the illusion of urgency or importance, causing you to feel nervous and anxious. In this state of mind, people are more likely to make impulsive decisions, including divulging personal information or performing the actions of the other person.
In addition, some advanced telecom fraud tactics may also bypass conventional defenses by manipulating network vulnerabilities or exploiting malware. Even if you think you're careful, you may be tricked by accident.
Do you often receive some inexplicable captchas?
Since it is not sent by yourself, many people may simply ignore or delete it. Very few people actually take the time to pay attention to the content of these CAPTCHAs. However, it is precisely because of this common phenomenon that some residents have suffered from being made from the air. When you receive an unfamiliar verification code on your phone, sometimes it may be ** eyeing you.
These** use tools that can intercept verification codes sent to you by platforms like banks. Once they have the captcha, it's the equivalent of knowing your bank account.
Therefore, if your phone frequently receives multiple inexplicable verification codes over a period of time, the best thing to do is to turn off your phone immediately to avoid unnecessary information leakage and prevent property damage.
