New study: Over 10 million people endangered by fraudulent crypto app advertising

According to a current report by the cybersecurity company Check Point, a global malware campaign was uncovered, which has exposed more than 10 million people with fraudulent advertisements for crypto apps. This alarm message illustrates the growing threat from cyber attacks, which are becoming more and more sophisticated and aimed at luring unsuspecting users into the trap.

The campaign uses various channels to reach users and pretends to offer legitimate crypto applications. The attackers rely on deceptively real ads that are published on social media and on various websites. The aim is to tempt users to download the fake apps that are often infected with malware.

The dangers that come from these fraudulent apps are considerable. Users who fall into the trap not only risk the loss of their invested funds, but also access to personal data such as passwords and bank information. This information can then be used for criminal activities.

In order to protect themselves from such threats, Check Point advises users to be extremely careful when downloading apps. This includes reviewing the reviews and reviews of the apps, checking the source and the developer of the app and ensuring that the app is downloaded via official channels.
