๐ค How OTP Bots Workโ ๐ค
๐These bots are controlled either through a web browser control panel or via Telegram and they trick victims into providing one-time passwords, often by simulating a call from a bank requesting the code. The scheme works as follows:
1๏ธโฃ After obtaining the victim's credentials, the fraudster logs into their account and receives a prompt to enter the OTP code.
2๏ธโฃ The victim receives a message on their phone containing the one-time password.
3๏ธโฃ The OTP bot calls the victim and, using a pre-prepared script, demands that they enter the received code.
4๏ธโฃ The victim types the code on their phone's keypad during the call.
5๏ธโฃ The code is sent to the fraudster's Telegram bot.
6๏ธโฃ The fraudster gains access to the victim's account.
