JAIPUR, Sept. 1 -- Rajasthan Police on Monday issued an advisory warning companies and employees against the "boss scam", in which cybercriminals impersonate senior officials to seek urgent money transfers or steal sensitive information. The advisory, issued by the Cyber Crime Branch on the directions of director general of police Rajiv Kumar Sharma, urged managers, accountants and employees handling financial transactions or confidential data to remain vigilant. Additional director general of police (Cyber Crime) VK Singh said fraudsters use social engineering techniques to pose as company heads, senior officers or business associates and contact employees through WhatsApp, email or text messages. They often ask employees to immediately transfer money, purchase gift cards or share confidential information. Fraudsters gather details about companies and senior officials from email formats, contact details, projects and social media activity to make messages appear genuine. Police said they may also install Trojan malware to steal information or hijack WhatsApp Web sessions. Warning signs include altered email addresses, unusual communication outside office hours, demands for secrecy, pressure for immediate payment and requests to transfer money to new or unknown bank accounts....
