The FBI has issued a warning regarding the rise of fraudulent online file converter tools that can implant malware on users' devices. Cybercriminals are exploiting these services, which often promise to convert or combine files. Although these tools may appear functional, they frequently contain hidden malware that compromises users' security, leading to identity theft or ransomware incidents. The FBI emphasizes the importance of public education to prevent falling victim to these scams, and urges anyone affected to report incidents and take protective action.
These converters and downloading tools will do the job they claim, but leave the resulting file holding hidden malware that gives criminals access to the victim's computer.
The best way to thwart these fraudsters is to educate people so they don't fall victim to these fraudsters in the first place.
