In the past few months, a group of hackers have been trying to steal personal and money-related info from people in the United Arab Emirates.

They pretend to be UAE authorities and send messages asking for details like home addresses, phone numbers, and credit card info.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The messages work on both Apple and Android phones, and they include a link to a fake website that looks a lot like the official one from the UAE agency that handles residency and foreign affairs, as found by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resecurity.com\/blog\/article\/cybercriminals-impersonate-uae-federal-authority-for-identity-and-citizenship-on-the-peak-of-holidays-season\" rel=\"noindex, nofollow\">Resecurity researchers.<\/a> Consequently, the need for ethical hackers in the UAE is increasing consistently.
