Update: Republished on March 25 with additional warnings as to the multiple risks from these websites and advice for users.
The raft of recent FBI warnings hitting smartphone and computer users should not be a surprise. The threat landscape is rapidly worsening, whether fromto beware “a scam involving free online document converter tools,” with criminals using “converter tools to load malware onto victims’ computers, leading to incidents such as ransomware.”Now the bureau has confirmed this threat is ongoing, with users continuing to fall victim. “FBI warnings are true,” says, “fake file converters do push malware.
In reality, free document converters carry the same risk as the free apps that lure their way onto millions of phones, promising some sort of trivial functionality — QR code or document reader, for example, while in reality porting malware or abusing device permissions to harvest data and transmit this back to its handlers.), there are multiple risks with using document cionverters, beyond just phishing.
