This week, we’ll talk about SMS and e-mail scams sent in the name of the police. Criminals posing as authorities have attempted to scam people into revealing their online banking credentials. Meanwhile, the real police have participated in an international police operation that has successfully shut down a botnet used by criminals. We also highlight the importance of updating devices. Non-updated devices are an easy target for criminals seeking to construct new botnets. The owner of a non-updated device may unknowingly become an accessory to a crime.
