<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include the “Smishing Triad,” a tactic previously identified by Resecurity, which has been used to target consumers not only in the Middle East but also in the U.S., U.K., various European Union countries, and the UAE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common types of fraudulent activities observed include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gift\/charity\/donations

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, bringing a surge in online shopping and charitable giving, cybercriminals are ramping up their efforts to exploit the festive spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study by Security has highlighted an increase in fraudulent <\/a>activities targeting consumers in the Middle East, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), where consumer spending has topped $16 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article delves into the sophisticated tactics these cyber criminals employ and offers advice on staying safe online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
