Synopsis
The biggest festive sale hacking emerged via 'Spin The Lucky Wheel Scam' that emerged within days of Flipkart announcing its 'Big Billion Day Sale' in the month of October, said the investigation conducted by New Delhi-based CyberPeace Foundation.
"People who were duped into believing that they had won the phone as a prize would be asked to share the link via WhatsApp to their friends and family," the report said.
New Delhi: China-based hacking groups are leaving no stone unturned in attacking Indians and a new report revealed on Friday that fraudsters from GuangDong and Henan province in China targeted online shoppers during the record-breaking Flipkart festive season sales.
