The public is being alerted of fraudsters who constantly find ways to infiltrate bank accounts through fake links, either by luring users into updating their data or urging them to click the link to avoid repercussions for the late payment of their traffic fines, Alrai Media reported.

Recently, some of the hackers claimed to be affiliated with the General Directorate of Traffic and forced users to pay their dues on a specific date by clicking on a link, in which they claim that failure to do so will result in a penalty. In an effort to address the issue, the General Department of Relations and Security Media at the Ministry of Interior has previously responded to unknown fake accounts and numbers whose users are fraudulent. They have not provided bank data, as banks do not request this information. They also warned the public against photographing debit cards or passwords and sharing them with the hackers, and not opening fake or unknown links, which could cause the phone to be hacked.

The ministry has warned the public against responding to unknown accounts and numbers that may belong to fraudsters who impersonate several entities and request data related to ATM cards or personal identities. The ministry also advised to report these accounts or numbers immediately for investigation.
