Bratislava Police Seek Suspect After Woman Loses Money in Screen-Sharing Scam

Share:

Bratislava police are searching for a man suspected of stealing money from a woman by exploiting a screen-sharing application. The suspect reportedly gained access to the victim's device through the app, which allowed him to view and potentially control her screen remotely, enabling him to steal funds from her account. Screen-sharing scams, in which fraudsters pose as bank officials or technical support agents and persuade victims to install remote-access software, have become an increasingly common form of digital fraud across Europe. Police are appealing for information to help identify and locate the suspect.
