Jamtara 2.0: Are You on Insta? A Phishing Wave is Superimposing Faces into Sex Videos, DMing Contacts

A major phishing crime wave is on the loose. According to a report by The Indian Express, police say such phishing attacks are becoming increasingly common, mostly by an alleged gang of scamsters who operate at the tri-junction of Haryana, UP and Rajasthan from places such as Bharatpur, Mathura and Mewat. While there is no consolidated data on the number of such attacks, police say their increasing frequency has earned the region the notoriety of being the ‘New Jamtara’. Bhasin started receiving messages and calls from family and friends about a ‘video’ they had got. On July 4, the Agra Cyber Police arrested three men from Mewat who were allegedly involved in various forms of cyber crime, including making “nude video calls to blackmail people”.
