Tech Guruji's video: Fake COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Fake Covid vaccine app Fake vaccine websites

Hey dosto, The Delhi Police along with the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is alerting citizens about fake CoWin vaccine registration apps and websites that are spreading through SMS. As there is a shortage of vaccines in India, miscreants are taking advantage of the desperation among citizens to get the vaccine. Note that the entire vaccination drive is digital and you can register for the same only via Aarogya Setu app or CoWin website. Here are websites and apps that you must avoid. Don’t download APK files of an Android app to register for vaccine If you get any SMS telling you to install an APK file on your Android phone to register then know that it is fake and could be a malware. “The SMS message carries a link that installs the malicious app on Android based devices, which essentially spreads itself via SMS to victims' contacts. The app also gains unnecessary permissions that attackers could leverage to acquire user data such as contact list,” CERT-In said in its advisory. A fake SMS message is in circulation that falsely claims to offer an app to let users register for COVID-19 vaccine in India. However, instead of providing a legitimate way to register for the vaccination, the app is aimed at propagating malware via SMS messages once it is installed on a mobile device. The malicious app was initially named COVID-19, though it later received an update that renamed it as Vaccine Register. Attackers may be able to convince users to install the app as a large number of people faced issues while registering for the COVID-19 vaccine through the official CoWIN portal. Cybersecurity firm ESET's malware researcher Lukas Stefanko has tweeted about the SMS message that asks users to download the app to register for the COVID-19 vaccination. The message is targeted at Indian users and is designed in a way that impersonates 'COVID-19 vaccine free registration', according to the researcher. Note : This vdo is only for information.
