These attacks are widely industrialised to obtain sensitive information intended to carry out fraudulent transactions. <\/p>\n<p>With the collaboration of the financial sector associations\u2014AEB (Spanish Banking Association), CECA, Unacc (National Union of Credit Cooperatives) and ASNEF (National Association of Financial Credit Institutions)\u2014this initiative aims to inform users about the different forms of cybercrime so that, with simple and practical advice, they can avoid them. Financial institutions\u2019 channels are secure for carrying out transactions (official website, banking apps, telephone numbers) and access should always be through official sites, never through links received in messages, so attention should be paid to all communications received. In this way, the Atresmedia initiative emphasises the use of financial institutions\u2019 official channels (websites, apps, telephone numbers, etc.) to communicate and carry out procedures securely.  <\/p>\n<p>It is essential that customers themselves are prepared to detect fraudulent communications and act to avoid compromising their personal information, so attention should be paid to all communications received. Levanta la Cabeza seeks to encourage safe behaviour by following some basic advice in the event of receiving a communication, even if it appears to come from a banking institution. <\/p>\n<p>Raising public awareness of cybersecurity practices is important in a society where a large proportion of financial institution customers carry out transactions and procedures through websites and apps using highly sensitive data. To this end, users should be wary of any communication requesting confidential data such as access codes or passwords, or that adds a sense of urgency. In such cases, the communication should be ignored and official telephone numbers and websites should be used, a branch should be visited, or information should be requested through the app to verify the authenticity of these requests.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>How to act in the event of a possible cyberattack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To avoid becoming a victim of a cyberattack, users should always bear in mind a series of warnings. Financial institutions will never ask for login credentials, credit card numbers and CVC, security codes to authorise transactions, or other confidential data via a call, email or instant messaging. If the communication seems suspicious, do not click on any link or download attachments, as they may contain malware and infect the device. If in doubt, end the communication and contact the institution through official channels.   <\/p>\n<p>Likewise, when customers believe they have been the victim of any misappropriation of information or money, they should contact their bank immediately to mitigate the possible consequences as much as possible. It is important to file a report with the relevant authorities as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<p>All this content will also be covered on Atresmedia\u2019s social media channels and on Levanta la Cabeza\u2019s profiles on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, as well as on this website, conceived as an open, collaborative and reference platform in the face of digital transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Levanta la Cabeza, in October\u2014Cybersecurity Month\u2014and following the celebration of Financial Education Day, focused on &#8220;Education for safer finances&#8221;, we are launching a new campaign to raise public awareness of digital security, focused on preventing and avoiding cyber scams.
