As a &#8220;victim&#8221; you have no way of detecting their fraudulent behaviour at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, victims of fraud are sent <strong>text messages<\/strong> containing extremely <strong>favourable offers, free trial products or urgent warnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is not only to obtain <strong>sensitive data<\/strong>, but also to spread <strong>malicious codes<\/strong> that they force you to click on. The messages are <strong>designed to stun<\/strong> or <strong>scare<\/strong> you into <strong>taking action quickly<\/strong>. Criminals often extort <strong>money<\/strong> from their victims for seemingly leaked data or sensitive photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous is the message with the subject line &#8220;Congratulations, you won!&#8221; to convince the victim that they have won a cash prize or a branded smartphone. There is not a single person on earth who has not received a similar message, which is truly trivial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, attackers are increasingly using <strong>machine learning<\/strong> technologies to create synthetic voices. Thus, they have no problem spoofing a phone order from a company manager convincing a subordinate to transfer money. The authenticity of the call is supported by the personal information they often obtain from the caller&#8217;s social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #7f3035;\"><strong>Specific recommendations:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-square\">\n<li>do not trust unsolicited phone calls and never call back the number of the attacker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be wary of information on the internet, especially unrealistically profitable or disastrous information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>only download files from official stores or directly from developers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pay attention to the time of the message sent (most companies operate between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>check with your institution that the data is real before providing it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>report any suspicious calls immediately via the official hotline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>terminate the suspicious call with a promise to call back later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can read all over the internet that social engineering is on the rise.
