Phishing Fraud
One-crick Fraud
False warning
Ransomware


There are not a few people who have seen these four pictures, images and pictures.

I have never actually experienced it. But I don't want to see it.

All of these indicate that you are about to or are about to be caught in a net-related "fraud".
Have you ever displayed something like this on your PC or smartphone?

What is there?


The main items are summarized in the table again. Please take a look.

NameWhat is it?Image
Phishing Fraud Access fake Web sites and abuse personal information entered there.
You may be redirected to a site that looks a lot like a service's login screen, which is pretty similar to the regular one, so check out "URL"!

※Sudden Election
One-crick Fraud Espesially, when you click to browse "A certain video", it happen.
Sometimes information about your own PC, such as "IP address" is displayed at the same time, so you often rush to pay.
But just because you know your IP address, you can't reveal your name from it, so stay calm.
In most cases, it's an unfair contract
(For example, there is not a common member registration of "Agree to the Terms of Use".),
so don't rush and ignore it.
Then be sure to scan your computer with security software!

※Isn't it similar?
False warning In particular, even though the device itself is not infected with a virus, it displays "Your body is in a dangerous condition." as if it is infected, and makes people buy fake security software or charge for virus removal.
※It's a bit scary, but there are a lot of unnatural spots.
Ransomware After locking up an infected PC or encrypting and disabling files, it asks "If you want it back, pay me.".
It's also counting down the deadline, so you'll be in a lot of haste. However, even if you pay, sometimes it won't be returned, so be careful!
(In 2017, a kind of ransomware "Wannacry" became very popular and troubled many people.)

※In 2017 it raged "Wannacry"
