Greek authorities are alerting users to a phone scam spreading via Viber.
A surge in suspicious calls has been reported in the last 24 hours.
These calls, often from international numbers like +48 and +3197, lack caller identification and are suspected of being part of a phishing scheme to steal personal and financial information.
Officials advise users to avoid answering calls from unknown international numbers and never to share sensitive details, such as ID or banking information. They also recommend regularly updating device security settings and software to prevent breaches.
Phishing involves cybercriminals posing as trusted entities to trick users into revealing confidential data. Authorities stress the importance of caution and scepticism to stay safe online as these scams grow more sophisticated.
