Cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies have issued warnings about a new wave of sophisticated scams targeting users worldwide. Hackers are exploiting WhatsApp by embedding spyware within image files, allowing them to steal banking information and drain victims' accounts with a single tap. This method represents an evolution beyond traditional phishing attacks involving links or one-time passwords. Authorities have also alerted the public to related scams, including impersonations of police officers via video calls, fraudulent text messages from supposed Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employees, and silent phone scams such as the Wangiri scam, which begins with a missed call. Additional threats include fake QR code fines on vehicle windshields and AI-generated videos requesting payments via Pix, a Brazilian instant payment system. Experts recommend users secure their financial accounts by using strong passwords, enabling two-factor or multifactor authentication, and activating account alerts. Public advisories emphasize caution with unsolicited calls and messages, urging immediate disconnection from suspicious contacts. These warnings come amid a broader increase in cyber fraud tactics exploiting everyday communication platforms.
