Cybersecurity

One example of bad behavior on the internet that I found interesting and very dangerous is a new scam dubbed “The Phantom Hacker.” This scam involves someone impersonating technology, banking, and even government officials to try to convince elderly victims that hackers have gained control their financial account. After the scammers convince the victim, they then instruct them to immediately move their money to an “U.S. Government account” to “protect” their assets but this was all a lie and they have now transferred their money to the actual hacker. This scam personally scares me because I have elderly parents and it’s just sickening that people pray on elderly.
