Summary created with AI assistance · Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
- A new WhatsApp scam impersonates contacts to lure victims into clicking links that lead to fake voting sites.
- Bitdefender reported the campaign used 177 fraudulent domains and 554 unique URLs and targeted thousands over the past two months, mainly in Germany, Poland and Romania.
- When a phone number and verification code are entered on the phishing pages, attackers can take over and lock victims out of their WhatsApp accounts and then impersonate them to defraud contacts.
- Recommended defenses include never sharing WhatsApp verification codes, verifying money or favour requests by phone, reporting suspicious messages, requesting a new code after compromise, informing contacts, and alerting banks if money was transferred.
