Beware phishing attempt on Line application, warn Thai police

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Thai media Sanook have said that the Crime Suppression Division have warned about a fraudulent attempt to obtain personal data through the popular Line application.

 

This is known as phishing. 

 

A page has been sent to users saying that if updates are not made users will be unable to chat using Line.

 

A phone number is requested initially and a link provided to give more information. 

 

Sanook said the warning came from the CSD without going into further details themselves. 

 

But the message was clear - don't respond to this attempt to hack your details.

Haha, this "data" is obviously only to be monitored by Line or Google.
