Fake Voicemail Messages Can Let Hackers Control Your Computer

Cybercriminals are sending fake voicemail notifications that look like they come from trusted sources. These messages prompt users to download a file to listen to the voicemail, but the file actually installs software that gives hackers remote access to the computer.

Who Is At Risk
Anyone who receives and opens unexpected voicemail notifications via email.

What To Watch For
Be cautious of emails claiming you have a new voicemail, especially if they ask you to download a file to listen to it.

What to Do
Do not download or open files from unsolicited emails; instead, verify the message’s authenticity by contacting the sender directly.
