HEINEKEN BEER WHATSAPP VIRUS INFECTING THOUSAND OF MOBILE PHONES; HOW IT SPREADS?


Social distancing due to coronavirus is generating unimaginable cybersecurity consequences, computer forensics experts say. One example is the UK, which is entering its fourth week of isolation, so thousands of pubs and bars remain closed and making it difficult for citizens to get some alcohol.

Apparently a scammer, or group of scammers, is trying to take advantage of that, creating social media accounts allegedly operated by the popular Dutch-based brewing company Heineken. Those threat actors deceive unsuspecting users by claiming that they can send them free beer kegs for the purpose of extracting their personal data.
