Fake ticket and giveaway scams rise ahead of FIFA World Cup
The end of the year has traditionally been a hot season for cybercrime and with the World Cup happening during this period the treat surface increases.
In a bid to safeguard its users, Kaspersky analysed some of the most popular scams it has seen come to the fore. All of these scams leverage the football tournament in some way and it’s a good idea to take note of them in case you run into one of these scams. Experts at Kaspersky discovered a number of phishing websites that claimed to help customers purchase tickets but instead hoovered up the customer’s information. The danger here is that this information can be used to launch further attacks or sell it on to other cybercriminals.
However, these are tried and tested attack surfaces, and Kaspersky has found a modern take on scams doing the rounds – fake crypto and NFT scams.
