The Center for Countering Disinformation has warned of a new fraudulent scheme in the Signal messenger, where attackers pose as the app's support service and attempt to gain access to users' accounts. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the NSDC of Ukraine, according to UNN.
Details
According to the CCD, users are receiving fake messages from accounts posing as Signal technical support. These messages claim there is allegedly "suspicious activity" and a need to undergo "authentication" to avoid account suspension.
The Center emphasizes that this is actually an attempt by scammers to gain access to the user's account or device.
Signal does not send such messages in chats
Users are urged not to respond to such messages. If received, it is recommended to block the sender's account and file a report.
