from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

Mobile phone fraud continues to pose a significant threat, with cybercriminals employing increasingly sophisticated tactics like phishing, malware, and fraudulent apps. Just last week, the Singapore Police Force issued a warning about a new phishing scam targeting victims through fake PayNow websites. These scammers send text messages claiming that a "certificate" is about to expire, directing users to a fraudulent website where they are tricked into sharing sensitive personal and financial information. Eugene Liderman, Director of Android Security Strategy at Google, shares with us insights on the broader trends in cybercrime, including how fraudsters are leveraging advanced technologies like AI to design increasingly convincing scams, and expert tips to keep your cyber health in check. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
