In the environment where digital technology is growing day by day, hackers who engage in cyber fraud by misusing it are learning many tricks.
Fake videos purporting to explain Bitcoin mining software, then providing a link to download the video, is the first step in a recent scam.
For that, a password is given and words like virus free link are used to increase the credibility of the users.

In such a way, Pennywise (Malware) penetrates the phone of the users who enter the video and all the information in the phone starting from the social network page details to the bitcoin investment is stolen.
Pennywise collects all information and immediately transfers it to the fraudster’s servers, and then automatically deletes it, making it difficult to track such criminals.
Cyber experts advise people to avoid clicking on videos sent by strangers or with suspicious titles.
