The FBI alerts people to a significant scam: You could lose all of your money with a simple text message.

The FBI alerts people to a significant scam: You could lose all of your money with a simple text message.

The FBI issued a warning a few weeks ago about a massive text message campaign that was threatening thousands of people by forcing them to make certain fraudulent payments.

In order to charge victims fictitious fees, scammers attempted to coerce them into divulging their banking information.

 A new report from Palo Alto Networks now indicates that the threat actor has registered more than 10,000 domain names for use in new attacks.

Similar to previous attacks on users, these messages were written to encourage potential victims to disclose personal and financial information, such as credit card details.

To do this, cybercriminals registered up to 10,000 new domains, which they directed users to via these bulk text messages, websites created to solicit information from users.

This appears to be a massive campaign, with users being subjected to fraudulent messages to force them to pay false fines.

If a user clicks on the links in these text messages, they could end up at any of the 10,000 domains registered by cybercriminals that are designed to pressure users into providing personal and banking information.

So be careful not to fall into this new trap that could put your bank account and personal data at risk.
