As noted by many people, they are constantly receiving junk messages advertising, phishing, even fake from reputable organizations and individuals.
1.The current state of junk messages:
According to the Vietnam Cyber Emergency Response Center (VNCERT / CC), the Information Security Department, spam messages with the content “make money online” or “gratitude to customers” are showing signs of re-outbreak. Users often receive junk messages advertising “make money online” or “customer gratitude,” often accompanied by a link. After the user clicks on the link, the user is redirected to a website asking to download the application and register for the rewards program.
The downloaded application is actually malware, silently hijacking the phone. Fraudsters can steal money in bank accounts (if the phone has Internet Banking app installed), steal personal information important and use for bad purposes such as impersonation, extortion, asset appropriation .
This is a sophisticated scam because these objects have taken advantage of the trust and greed of users who may be at risk of bank information theft, personal information can be used to make credit contracts, loans without the victim knowing.
2. Solution
