来自Sophos的网络安全研究人员揭示了一项新的欺诈运动,其中涉及在社交媒体上进行cat鱼 ,一些虚假的应用程序和许多加密货币 。
前提很简单 - 欺诈者将在流行的社交媒体和约会网站上创建一个虚假的身份(主要是女性),找到可受骗的受害者,并将其带走。
在交换了许多信息并获得了信任之后 ,攻击者将说服受害者在模仿流行的交易应用程序上共同对加密货币进行“投资 ”。在这种情况下,攻击者创建了Robinhand,这是流行的Robinhood Trups平台的欺诈版本 。

Romance-based money scams are as old as time itself, but many have recently been updated with the proliferation of cryptocurrencies.
Distributing iOS apps
Sophos notes that the criminals were able to distribute these apps even on iOS, by abusing Apple’s “Super Signature” application distribution scheme, as well as TestFlight (a feature used to test “beta” versions of apps before they make it to the actual repository).
The “jointly investing ” part is also a trick. As the fraudsters operate the app’s backend, they are able to show the victim’s account as having any amount of money, deepening their trust. However, the victim can never withdraw the money - it’s permanently lost.
The rabbit hole goes even deeper. Once the victim tries to withdraw the funds, and sees that they cannot do that, the fraudsters will suggest they reach out to “customer support”, where they’ll be told to pay 20% “tax” to withdraw the funds, taking every last penny out of their accounts. Those that deny will get a little “nudge ” - their love interest will offer to “lend” a part of the tax funds.
