Πima asked their recipients to install a special application via a QR code, warning of the eĸect period. They were made to look like those sent by the Swiss Federal Service for Meteorology and Climatology, MeteoSwiss.
„Don't scan a QR code because you can't see where it will take you. Instead, look for a direct website address. Do not download apps outside the official Android and Apple stores. Once we've downloaded an app, we can give it access to literally anything else. Read what rights you give to individual applications”, advised Daskalov and added that such information about applications should be checked from two sources.
