The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has issued a warning about a sophisticated scam involving fake AnyDesk requests. This scam allows hackers to gain remote access to victims’ computers.
Cybersecurity experts have identified a new scam where attackers send fake AnyDesk requests to unsuspecting users. These requests appear legitimate and trick users into granting remote access to their computers. Once access is granted, hackers can steal sensitive information, install malware, or take control of the system. The scam has been linked to a series of phishing emails and social engineering tactics designed to deceive users into trusting the fake requests.
In response to this threat, CERT-UA is advising users to be cautious when receiving remote access requests, especially from unknown sources. They recommend verifying the authenticity of any remote access request before granting access. Additionally, authorities are working to identify and block the malicious actors behind this scam, and they are urging users to report any suspicious activity to help mitigate the threat.
