After researchers unmasked a prolific SMS scammer, a new operation has emerged in its wake

If you have received a scandaling text message about if you are practically like someone else in the US and beyond Cell Phone An unpaid toll or continuous mail itemHave a good opportunity that you have been targeted by a great scamming operation.

The scandal is not particularly complicated, but it is extremely effective. Spam sends text messages that look like true notifications for popular services, from postal distribution to local government programs, click a link to non -hunting that loads a phishing page, they enter the details of their credit card and that information is swipe and used for fraud.

During the seven -month period in 2021, the scandal forged at least 5 credit card details, allowing scammers to pay cash on their victims’ account. Some affected people lost thousands of dollars in this scandal, researchers say.

However, a series of OPCEC mistakes finally led the scaming software to the manufacturer of the security researcher and investigating journalists to identify the real-world of the magic cat, who said that the handle went through Darkular.

As Oslo-Sadr Office Protection Agency Published by Memorial And Has been reported in Tendem by Norwegian Media Earlier this year, the 24 -year -old Chinese citizen Yucheng C was 24 -year -old Chinese citizen behind the flopfi cute cat in the Durkular Profile Photos.

Researchers say that Yucheng C has developed magic cats for hundreds of customers, who use the software to promote their own SMS text message to their victims.

Immediately after he was unmusted, Darkula became dark and his scandal operation did not see any updates on his customers at the launch. However, in view of this, a new operation has arisen and has already surpassed its predecessor.

Researchers are now a new fraud operation, a magic mouse, which rises from the ashes of the magic cat and the alarm is playing.

Before sharing new explorations at the Def Conference Conference in Las Vegas on Friday, Memorial offensive consultant Harrison Sand Techcunch told that Magic Mouse has been moving towards popularity since the death of Darkular Magic Cat.

Sand also warned about the growing skills of the operation of stealing credit cards.

During their investigation, the Memonic received images from the inside of the operation posted on a telegram channel, which was conducted by Darkula, which showed a line -up of credit card terminals and videos and racks with dozens of phones used to send messages to the victims.

Scammers use the details of the card on the mobile wallet on the phone and operate the payment fraud, laundering their funds to other bank accounts. On some phones, mobile wallets were upset with other people stolen cards, which are ready to use for mobile transactions.

Sand told TechCrunch that the magic mouse is already responsible for theft of at least 50,6 credit cards a month.

Although the evidence implies that the magic mouse is completely new operations, coded by new developers and probably not related to Darkular, most of the success of the magic mouse steals phishing kites from new operators that make its predecessor software so popular. Sand said that these kites have hundreds of fishing sites that were used to duplicate valid web pages of the Magic Cat main technology giant, popular consumer services and delivery companies, all of which were designed to drive victims to transfer their credit card details.

But now, despite their skills to net millions of dollars from Magic Cat and Magic Mouse and customers, Sand TechCrunch said in a call that law enforcement was not seen outside of some of the fraudulent reports or in a wide operation behind the project.

Instead, Sand said it is technology companies and financial giants who do not make much more responsibility to allow the existence and success of these scandals to use the stolen cards on the shoulder to shoulder.

Anyone who accepts suspicious text, ignoring unwanted messages can be the best principle.
