People need to be vigilant against this new and sophisticated form of fraud.

Taking advantage of people's need to edit photos, scammers have created fake free photo editing applications and installed malware to take control of the device. After just a few download and installation steps, all personal information and bank accounts can be stolen. As a result, users can lose all the money in their accounts without even knowing it.

This form of fraud can be identified through a number of signs such as: The application is not available on the official store (CH Play, App Store); Advertised through strange links, unauthenticated websites; Requesting multiple access rights on the phone.

To proactively prevent and protect yourself, people should only download applications from trusted sources such as CH Play or App Store and not grant unusual access to strange applications.

If you find a suspicious application, you should immediately remove it, change the passwords of important accounts, and contact your bank for support. In addition, when suspecting or detecting fraud, you should immediately report it to the relevant agency or local police for support.
