A new study reveals a worrying spike in 'scam yourself' attacks, where scams exploit social engineering, resulting in a staggering 614% increase in affected individuals over just one quarter.
The fake update scam is one of the riskiest, as users are often tricked into downloading malicious software disguised as legitimate updates, primarily via unreliable popups.
Scammers are leveraging the abundance of online tech tutorials, creating fake guides disguised as helpful resources, but these actually lead to malware infection and system compromise.
To avoid these scams, users should be cautious of unsolicited suggestions to disable antivirus software or download strange programs, as these actions expose them to significant risks.
