If you received an invoice from Orange, Digi RCS RDS or Enel, you must study it carefully. Hackers can act through these bills.
The rules of these operators say that if you haven’t paid your bill on time, they must inform you of this and tell you that you can lose your subscription if you don’t give them the money. Thus, hackers take advantage of these situations.
Be careful what “bills” you pay
Hackers became extremely inventive and started sending emails to customers, completely copied from the original ones. They also send a link and invite Romanians to access it and pay their bills.
Digi RCS RDS issued warnings about this and Orange became the number one target for hackers.
So, you have to be careful what money you give and to whom, because you can be left without money and without personal data, if you fall into the hacker’s trap. However, online fraud attempts can be detected quickly, with a lot of care, if anyone does a few essential checks.
Many people have also fallen prey to crypto fraud. If you know someone who fell for an online scam last year, you’re far from alone. Cyber attacks are on the rise. The FBI reports that Americans who reported incidents to the agency lost $10.3 billion to Internet scams in 2022, a sharp jump from $6.9 billion in 2021.
Although there were fewer complaints (800,944), certain frauds were very problematic. Investment scams were the most common and costly schemes. Fraud losses rose from nearly $1.5 billion in 2021 to $3.3 billion, and most of that value came from cryptocurrency scams — losses rose from $907 million to nearly $2.6 billion in 2022.
