Cybercriminals Defraud Individuals Using APK Files
Cybercriminals have defrauded individuals by sending malicious APK (Android Package Kit) files, leading to the emptying of bank accounts. In Palamu, a victim lost ₹88,955 after receiving such a file. In Bikaner, a separate incident involved a loss of ₹1.58 lakh, with the fraud occurring without the victim sharing an OTP or clicking a link, suggesting a sophisticated method of compromise.
