Tamil Nadu cyber crime division warns public of fake IRCTC app

Tamil Nadu cybercrime division said, "Fraudsters have devised a cunning scheme wherein they circulate phishing links through messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram. These links direct unsuspecting victims to download a fake version of the 'IRCTC Rail Connect' mobile app. This fake app closely resembles the original one, making it challenging for users to distinguish between them. However, behind the scenes, the malicious app is acting as a tool to collect sensitive information."
