Windows and Android users have been urged to be aware of criminals infiltrating popular websites and apps as part of a large-scale cyber campaign, experts have warned.
Hackers are using deliberately misspelt domains for some of the world's most popular websites including payment site PayPal and video sharing giant TikTok. This type of hacking is known as "typosquatting" and the attack is "malicious", according to Marijus Briedis, Chief Technology Officer at NordVPN.
Reports of cyber crime have skyrocketed as hackers constantly conjure up new ways to target innocent victims. Some disguise these vicious bugs as other apps, which can steal personal login details of online profiles, while others have the ability to drain bank accounts.
