New Year 2026 ke mauke par Mumbai Government Railway Police (GRP) ne logon ko WhatsApp par aane wale fake New Year greeting links ko लेकर alert kiya hai. GRP ke mutabik, kuch APK file greetings ke zariye cyber fraudsters logon ka personal data, banking details aur mobile access chura rahe hain.
Police ne bataya ki yeh scam festive wishes ke naam par failaya ja raha hai, jahan users ko ek APK file download karne ko kaha jata hai. Jaise hi user file install karta hai, phone mein spyware ya malware activate ho jata hai.

WhatsApp par “Happy New Year 2026” ya similar greeting aata hai
Link ya APK file download karne ko kaha jata hai
File install hote hi:
Phone ka data access mil jata hai
Banking apps aur OTPs track ho sakte hain
Financial fraud ka risk badh jata hai
GRP Ki Public Advisory
Unknown links ya APK files bilkul open na karein
WhatsApp se aayi koi bhi app download request ignore karein
Sirf Google Play Store se hi apps install karein
Agar galti se APK install ho jaye, turant:
Phone scan / reset karein
Bank ko inform karein
Cyber Crime Helpline 1930 par complaint karein
