HYDERABAD: If you receive a message on social media platforms asking you to download mobile app AnyDesk, it could be the handiwork of fraudsters trying to gain access to your mobile phone or laptop to make transactions using your bank account. It’s definitely one of the best and popular mobile remote desktop software. It can be enabled or disabled in the 'Permissions'-section of the Accept Window before or during an AnyDesk session, as well as in the 'Permissions'-settings at the top of the AnyDesk window during a session. AnyDesk is a remote desktop application that allows you to control your PC or Mac from tablet or phone. No complaint involving AnyDesk has been filed in Hyderabad, so far. The AnyDesk Audio Feature transmits sound from the remote device to the local device. The fraudster can then extract details from the victim’s device to carry out transactions on the user’s device.Ĭybersecurity expert Srinivas Kodali, when contacted, said downloading any unknown software or application could be harmful to the device. Once the hacker enters the code on his device, he gains access to the user’s device after a few permissions, not dissimilar from those sought by other apps, are given. The AnyDesk scam works like this: Once downloaded, a 9-digit app code is generated on the user’s device and cybercriminals ask for the code to be shared pretending to be calling from the user’s bank. ANYDESK provides its software on its website for download, without need for registration, to one data processing terminal per Customer. With fraudulent transactions using UPI (Unified Payments Interface) platforms on the rise, the RBI has been taking measures to spread awareness among the people and warn them about various types of frauds. The cybercriminal could, from any part of the world, gain remote access to your device and wipe your back accounts clean. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued a warning against downloading the app as a few wrong moves and the user would have no control over his/her device.
