- Thanks for spreading these information and knowledge.
These scammers really make me nervous. One year ago, a close friend of mine got discord hacked, and the scammer trying to scam me ( he claimed he just finished a demo of a product and wanted me to help test it, which involves downloading a malicious program). The scammer acted just like my friend, generally talking about the product and even sent me a video which is my friend is demoing the product. I didn't realize it's a scammer in the beginning, until the scammer asked me to download a program. My friend and I often helps each other to test products but they're normally websites, so this made me feel weird and I asked the scammer to message me from other platform. That's how I found it's a scammer, but my friend was sleeping at that time, so he couldn't react until few hours later.
the process is: scammer(s) first pretended to be project manager and wanted to hire my friend, that's how the video of my friend is doming the product coming from, my friend made the video as part of the "interviewing" process. Then he joined a malicious dc server then got dc hacked (didn't figure out detailed of how his dc got hacked). After my friend fell asleep, the scammer(s) started targeting his contacts.
(It's insane how "smart" these scammers are and how much efforts they're putting to scam people 😮💨😮💨😮💨)
I'm glad more and more people are standing out to share protection knowledge&build security tools. You make scammers hard to scam🙏🙏🙏
- One way is : don’t go on LinkedIn 😂
