Authorities in Mexico City have issued warnings about a new WhatsApp scam involving malicious links designed to steal personal and financial data or take control of users' devices. Cybersecurity officials recommend enabling two-step verification and avoiding clicking on suspicious messages. In India, multiple cases linked to a 'digital arrest' scam have emerged, where victims are blackmailed and coerced into transferring large sums of money under false claims of legal action. Notably, a Bangalore Electricity Supply Company employee in Karnataka died by suicide on July 14 after falling victim to this scam. Another incident involved a Coimbatore doctor losing Rs 2.9 crore, while a man named Rajendra Prasad Rawat reportedly lost Rs 11 lakh before taking his own life. The scam typically involves perpetrators impersonating officials from agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation to intimidate victims into compliance. Media outlets and cybersecurity experts have urged the public to exercise caution and share their experiences to help prevent further fraud.
