At this point, weâve probably all been targets of online scams. Most of the time, they tend to fall into one of a few categories - youâre usually being tricked into clicking on a malicious link or pressured into taking a particular action with the usual social engineering tactics, like when a fraudster claims to have compromising footage of you or, after learning some of your personal details, pretends theyâre from your bank.
But something else - and far more disturbing than anything else seen before in this sphere - has cropped up recently. Known as pig butchering scams, this new development represents a massive, and deeply worrying, divergence from the aforementioned tactics. By employing sophisticated tactics and taking a long-term approach, criminal organisations are tricking vulnerable people into parting with vast sums of money - and ruining peopleâs lives in the process.
