The Anti-Technology Crime Department has urged the public to be alert to online scammers who use files or links containing malware to steal users’ data and personal information.
To protect yourself, please take the following precautions:
• Do not click to open files with the extensions .exe, .bat, .vbs, .ps1, .sh, .msi or .scr.
• Do not click links whose sources are unclear or that look suspicious.
• Check carefully before opening or downloading any file.
• Enable two-factor authentication for all accounts.
• Regularly update mobile applications and operating systems to improve security.
The Anti-Technology Crime Department also called on people to share this information with their families and friends, so they could work together to prevent and protect themselves against online scams.
