Beware of Any Desk type fraudulent apps

Recently, the Reserve Bank of India cautioned customers of the Any Desk app used by fraudsters. It is a remote screen access app which fraudsters lure the victim into downloading on some or the other pretext, noted the National Payments Corp. of India. Once the fraudster inserts this app code on his device, they get access to the victim’s phone and credentials stored on it. “Once access is granted by the victim, the fraudster cannot only initiate financial transactions but can also place online shopping orders using the apps available on the victim’s phone or even steal information stored on it. Giving SMS permissions and device admin permission to any app is inviting trouble," said Amit Jaju, senior managing director for India at FTI Consulting.
