Top 10 Most Dangerous Computer Scams of 2024: Protect Yourself from Cyber Threats!

1. Phishing attacks
An email claiming to be from PayPal asks you to confirm a recent transaction by clicking a link. The link takes you to a fake PayPal login page, where you must enter your credentials, giving hackers access to your account.

2. Ransomware
You receive an email with an attachment labeled as an invoice. When you open the attachment, the ransomware encrypts all your files and displays a message demanding payment in Bitcoin to restore access.

3. Tech Support Scams
A pop-up window appears on your screen warning you that your computer is infected with a virus. It provides you with a phone number to call for help. The person on the other end of the line convinces you to give them remote access to your computer, where they steal personal data and charge you for unnecessary services.

4. Remote Access Trojans (RATs)
You download a seemingly harmless file from a website, but it secretly installs a RAT. The hacker now takes remote control of your computer, monitors your activities, and steals sensitive information.

5. Fake antivirus software
You receive a warning message that your computer is infected and that you should download antivirus software immediately. The software appears legitimate but installs malware, putting your system at risk.

6. Credential stuffing
Hackers use login credentials stolen in a previous data breach to try to access your other accounts, assuming you reuse the same password. They can log into your email and other services, compromising your personal information.

7. Misuse of form
You make an online purchase and enter your credit card information to complete a purchase. Unbeknownst to you, the site has been compromised and form-hijacking code steals your credit card information as you enter it.

8. Malicious advertising
While browsing a legitimate news site, you click on an advertisement that seems interesting. This advertisement redirects you to a malicious site that automatically downloads malware onto your computer.

9. Social engineering attacks
A scammer calls you pretending to be a member of your IT department, claiming to need your login credentials to troubleshoot an issue. By trusting them, you provide them with your credentials, and they use that information to access sensitive company data.

10. Supply Chain Attacks
You download a software update for a popular application you use. However, hackers have compromised the software vendor's system and the update includes malicious code that allows them to access your computer and steal data.
