Злоумышленники, выдавая себя за сотрудников госорганов, звонят через WhatsApp* и просят включить демонстрацию экрана. Под предлогом помощи отправляют ссылку на вредоносное приложение SpyMax, выдавая его за официальный сервис.
Итог — полный контроль над телефоном, кража денег и данных.

Under the Sebi Act, the regulator has the power to carry out search and seizure of books, registers, documents including electronics and digital devices from any person associated with the securities market. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news.
