Cyber fraudsters in India are evolving their tactics beyond traditional phishing, now exploiting everyday phone features and social media platforms. Scammers are using methods like deceptive text messages, QR codes, and WhatsApp interactions to gain access to victims' devices and financial information. These new methods often bypass common security awareness, leading to significant financial losses, as illustrated by a case where a man lost over Rs 2.47 lakh through a fraudulent courier link and OTP requests.
