Pope Franciscus Death immediately triggered cyber criminals, says security firm Check Point Software in a news release.
The death of the Pope has been utilized, for example, by images generated by artificial intelligence in Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok, which have attracted users to find more information on the subject and guided on scams. The purpose of the sites has been to fish user information, cheat money and spread malware.
-Such events evoke strong emotions and curiosity, which exposes cyber attacks, check Point security expert Rafa Lopez says in the bulletin and points out that criminal action is successful in chaos.
If the user takes a real -life image of the recent news of artificial intelligence from the surprisingly prosperous Pope and, for example, the allegation of death, clicking on the link in the image, there is a high probability that he will end up on the scam site.
Even if the scam site is not directly entered via the social posting link, it may be through a search engine. Namely, the phenomenon also involves poisoning the search results.
The scammers are able to float links to thumb -thumbed sites, which are used to trap users for more confirmation of those looking for more confirmation of the search engines.
In one example of Check Point, the site, which spread false information on the Pope, had a link that took Google to a scam site that was rotating a gift card scrape.
