The fraudster would send a wedding invitation in file format, directing the receiver to install the file and get their personal information stolen.<\/p>\n\n<p>Muhammad Noor Fakhruzzaman SKom MSc, Data Science Technology lecturer at the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline (FTMM) <a href=\"http:\/\/unair.ac.id\/en\">Universitas Airlangga<\/a> shared his professional view. He believed that the mode has long been used. The fraud mode is known as social engineering in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSocial engineering is a form of breaking the cybersecurity through social interaction, like taking advantage of the WhatsApp users\u2019 ignorance about the application file. The process is quite similar to phishing or counterfeiting bank websites, etc.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>In such cases, the fraudster uses the convenience and habits of using WhatsApp and people\u2019s lack of awareness of digital literacy. Therefore, many WhatsApp users think that the application file is not harmful. Some even think the file contains regular pictures that are safe to download.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/ZW9z8E0DU56nZvGyL6hbwcUtLqHlcFZiGi3-wlzB4MOehUWlraiAHYzRITxLBG46z9ai604yU7U1KAIb3Of--VBXYRuNqcRN25z904SVFsTCMVb2j4unpRmoteBr4vfgd7afUAouDp5Z3tLbiRCKGA\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muhammad Noor Fakhruzzaman SKom MSc, Data Science Technology lecturer at the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline (FTMM) Universitas Airlangga.

The exploit is used to open the backdoor, super admin access, and root to the receiver\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n\n<p>Besides, the fraudster usually targets Android users, considering the system uses open-source applications and operating systems to create the exploit code.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cActually, some newly released Android phones have provided prevention mechanisms. The users must allow external sources when installing applications. However, most Indonesians don\u2019t really read the notices carefully, they skipped them,\u201d Ruzza said.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAndroids are safe because the fake invitation application requires the user\u2019s consent. But most of them don\u2019t realize and carelessly install the application,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the end, the lecturer called users to stay alert, especially in reading the phone\u2019s notifications.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe also have to improve the awareness of digital literacy. No matter how strong the cybersecurity is, it will still be inferior to social engineering gaps,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Rafli Noer Khairam<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Binti Q.
