Cybercriminals are using a new tactic called the Boss Scam.
A malicious .zip file can compromise your WhatsApp, after which fraudsters impersonate your boss or senior officials and send urgent payment requests to finance teams and employees.
Stay protected:
• Never download .zip, .exe or .dll files received from unknown or unexpected sources
• Never transfer money based only on a WhatsApp message. Always verify through a phone call or another official communication channel
• Regularly check WhatsApp > Linked Devices and remove any unknown devices
• Enable Two-Step Verification on WhatsApp and keep antivirus software updated on your devices
If you accidentally open a suspicious file or suspect your account has been compromised, immediately call 1930, inform your bank, and report the incident at cybercrime.gov.in
