Fake "Web Player" tricks users into signing a check in blank

A fake online player called Web player may look harmless but it leads users to a fake webpage that request users to fill financial details.

Bitdefender security expert come across a bogus player that comes with End user License agreement(EULA) and other data to dupe users into believing that it is legitimate one.

Once application installed in your system, it will prompt users to login with an email address and password. Once you entered the details, you will be redirected towards an html page that allegedly offers free of charge movie online player for a variety of classics and new releases.

"The html page is not always the same. Bitdefender has identified more than half a dozen of them by now. Apparently the crooks built several such sites; in case one is blocked by antivirus vendors, there is another one up." Researcher said .

When you finish registering, the page will request you to enter credit card data. If you mistakenly entered the data, it will be stored in crook's server. In future, cyber criminals will use user credit card to take money without your consent.
