Hackers are using new tactics to fool internet users. In this new method, they hack various social media accounts, including the emails of dead people, to steal money from banks. They also send different types of messages with phishing links to lesser-known people associated with the accounts of dead people. This hacker group, known as Ghost Hacker, also cyber-attacks friends of dead people by getting them to click on phishing links.(Stay safe from hackers)
Hackers find news of someone’s death online and use various techniques to hack the person’s account to carry out cyber attacks. After hacking the account, they send fraudulent messages containing malware links to the person’s relatives and friends. As a result, people who are unaware of the person’s death click on the link, allowing malware to enter their devices and steal information and money. To stay safe from cyber attacks, cyber security experts advise against clicking on links in messages, even if they come from known names.
