Memory photos and wedding invitations are the main targets of cyber attacks.

Memory photos and wedding invitations are the main targets of cyber attacks.

🔹 "Hey, I found some old photos of you; check them out! "; " This is our wedding invitation. Install the file to view it. At first glance, these messages look perfectly normal.

🔹Messages from friends, acquaintances or even family members meant to evoke memories or share good news can, in fact, be a starting point for serious problems.

Sardar Vahid Majid, head of Iran's cyber police, said in an interview with Tasnim News:

🔹Investigations in the last two months reveal that of all cybercrimes that include malicious links and files, about 70% are carried out using two common tactics: "memory photos" and "wedding invitations".

🔹In these programs, criminals send infected links or malicious files under the guise of memory photos or wedding invitations, and entice users to click on the links or download or run the files, thereby gaining access to their personal information and accounts.
