A new wave of cyber fraud has been detected on social media, exploiting the name of popular Israeli singer Sarit Hadad. Scammers have launched a large-scale advertising campaign offering tickets to her concerts. The links lead to phishing websites where users are asked to fill out a form with personal data. Then a fake support representative contacts the victim, extracting confidential information to access bank accounts. Cybersecurity experts advise buying tickets only through official websites, ignoring suspicious ads, and never sharing card details, CVV codes, or SMS passwords. If data has already been shared, it is necessary to immediately contact the financial institution, block accounts, and file a report.
