Are you familiar with phishing? It is an email scam used by cybercriminals to steal your data and your money.
In this video you can see what it involves:
Here are some tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of phishing:
- Verify the email sender. Cybercriminals use different techniques to impersonate official organisations; however, they sometimes overlook certain details that give them away. For example, email addresses that do not match the organisations’ official addresses.
- Always install apps from official sources such as Google Play or Apple’s App Store, where you will always find your bank’s official apps verified. In addition, these platforms have security systems and filters to prevent any operator from making fraudulent apps available to their customers.
- Finally, never share your confidential data. If, when you receive an email of this kind, you are asked at any point in the process to provide your passwords, access codes or bank card details, be careful—it is a scam. Contact your bank immediately through its official channels to report it and, where appropriate, also report it to the State Security Forces and Corps.
This is the third spot launched by the AEB, CECA, Unacc and ASNEF associations as part of the cybersecurity campaign launched in October in collaboration with Levanta la Cabeza (Atresmedia), which aims to strengthen the digital security of all users.
