- [US] Fell victim to a Chinese police impersonation scam. How safe are my devices?
A US individual fell victim to a Chinese police impersonation scam, being tricked into downloading the Tencent Zoom app 'Voov' and allowing 24/7 surveillance on their devices. The scammer accessed financial information, passport, and social security numbers, but the victim mitigated risks by freezing credit, canceling a loan, and reporting to IC3 and the FBI. The victim is concerned about device security despite wiping their PC and ending surveillance.
