Vietnamese hackers target Indian users with fake traffic tickets on WhatsApp

Vietnamese hackers target Indian users with fake traffic tickets on WhatsApp
WhatsApp e-Challan scams are targeting users India using Maorrisbot, a new form of technical malware, according to a cybersecurity firm. This is a relatively new type of scam that is reportedly backed by a large, organised effort. So far, the malware is said to be affecting only Android devices, and no impact has been seen on iOS or other Apple devices. The scam begins like a typical phishing scam, but once the malware is deployed on the victim's device, it acts as a trojan.
