In the midst of India's bustling wedding season, cybercriminals are exploiting the festive atmosphere by disseminating fake wedding invitations via WhatsApp. These deceptive messages contain malicious APK files that, when downloaded, install malware on the recipient's device, granting unauthorized access to personal and financial information.
Victims receive a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, often bearing a familiar name, accompanied by a seemingly legitimate wedding invitation in PDF format. This file is, in reality, an APK (Android Package Kit) that, once opened, installs malware on the device. This malware can access sensitive data, including banking apps, OTPs, and account details, enabling it fraudsters to execute unauthorized financial transactions.
