The Singapore Police Force has issued a warning about a new phishing scam targeting WhatsApp users. The scam involves tricking individuals into scanning a QR code that links their WhatsApp accounts to a fraudulent website, allowing cybercriminals to access personal data and contact lists. Once they gain access, attackers can use personal connections to initiate illicit activities, including draining cryptocurrency wallets. The police caution that these scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and users must stay informed and maintain strong cybersecurity practices to protect themselves.
