Beware of clicking on 3 dots: You may lose money to cons

Cyber experts are sounding the alarm about a dangerous new scam targeting mobile users through remote device takeover fraud. A woman in Lucknow lost a significant sum of over three lakh rupees after fraudsters tricked her child into granting them screen-sharing access. These criminals, masquerading as customer support, exploited this access to hijack banking apps and siphon off funds. This incident underscores the growing threat of sophisticated scams and highlights the importance of heightened vigilance and security awareness to protect personal data.
