Chandigarh, July 25
The Cyber Crime Cell of the state police has warned the citizens not to click on a URL message being circulated via instant messaging services like SMS or WhatsApp which promises free Covid relief package of Rs 2,000 by the government to each citizen.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Investigation said these kinds of phishing attacks could permit cyber criminals to assume control of your device by logging your keystrokes, or access your own data and money related information, which could lead to emptying your bank account.
The spokesperson appealed to the public not to forward any news or links without verifying the authenticity and verify whether any official announcement had been made about the same on the genuine website.
