Rajasthan Police Warn Against Fake Wedding Invitation Scams
The Rajasthan police are warning people about a new scam that happens during wedding season.
Cybercriminals are sending fake wedding invitations through links.
These links might ask you to install an app, but it's actually a virus.
This virus can look at your messages, contacts, and files on your phone.
It steals your personal information, like bank details and passwords, to steal your money.
The police say it's important to always check who sent you a link or invitation and only download apps from safe places like the Play Store or App Store.
This is happening more often because many people are getting married now.
Rajasthan Police warns citizens about fake wedding invitation links being sent by cybercriminals.
These malicious links often contain APK files that, when installed, deploy backdoor malware.
The malware can access SMS, contacts, camera, and stored files to steal personal and financial information.
Cybercriminals use the stolen data for financial fraud, especially during peak wedding seasons.
The police advise verifying senders and only installing applications from trusted sources like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
