Males on Facebook and Tinder need to be careful not to fall for a crypto scam called 'pig-butchering' that could cost you money.
"Pig butchering" is a scam that involves phony websites, malicious advertising, and more. By getting through the App Store and Play Store's defenses, users have a false sense of security when installing these apps only to get bit in the ass.concluded that these attacks are designed to trick male Facebook or Tinder users into installing bogus apps by using fake female profiles with images stolen from other social media sites.
To get through the App Store's defenses. the bad actors involved in the scam submit an app signed with a valid certificate issued by Apple. This is a necessity for any app that appears on the iOS app storefront. Until the app gets Apple's approval, it acts normal; once approval is received, the domain name is changed and the app connects to a malicious server.
Also, if you're on Facebook or Tinder and you're approached by a wealthy female looking to get you to invest in cryptocurrency, do not engage in a conversation with this"woman." And even if your hormones kick in and you can't help yourself, what the hell are you doing investing your hard-earned money without doing some research first? And cryptocurrency is no stranger to the seedy, scammy world of investment ripoffs.
And because only a few victims get hooked , there aren't too many complaints about the apps. Still, if you use common sense and think with your brain instead of another part of the male anatomy, you should be able to avoid getting ripped off.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
