Internet users in Romania are targeted by a pig butchering scam campaign that can cause devastating damage to victims, warns the team of the National Cyber Security Dispatch, recommending increased vigilance in online interactions."What is pig butchering? A type of scam in which attackers gradually gain the trust of victims, over long periods of time, under the guise of looking for friends.
