A recent announcement by the WeChat Security Center exposed a new type of fraud in society - the spread of Trojan viruses through social platforms and the luring of victims to download and execute related malicious programs. This behavior not only poses a threat to users' privacy rights, but also may cause property damage.

In fact, such scams are already common, especially on social media platforms. Criminals will take advantage of the convenience of social software to send users emails, pictures and other information with phishing links or Trojan viruses in various ways, inducing users to click and install these malicious programs, and then realize remote control of victims.

It is worth noting that such scams are often highly covert and deceptive. Criminals usually include a large number of advertisements or links in the page, making it difficult for users to tell the difference between the real page and the fake website. In addition, they also use some complex language and online jargon to confuse the victim into believing that they are operating a safe and reliable software or service.

In order to protect against such scams, users should be highly vigilant and do not easily click on unknown links or download unverified applications. At the same time, it is also recommended that when using social software, try to choose regular channels to obtain relevant information to avoid becoming a victim of fraudulent activities.

Overall, for this new type of fraud, we should be vigilant, enhance our awareness of self-protection, and promptly pay attention to the latest developments released by the WeChat Security Center in order to better prevent and respond to the occurrence of such incidents.
