Raise your hand if you never had a close encounter with a suspicious e-mail. Or if you never met someone who has fallen into the trap of phishing. And yet, in spite of widespread knowledge, the theft of sensitive information continues to grow exponentially. Ransomware attacks continue to affect organisations of all sizes, with a high success rate. So much so that according to a recent FBI report, phishing and its variants, such as Vishing, Smishing and Pharming, are by far one of the most widespread and successful computer crimes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But what makes this type of scam so insidious? Certainly the continuous evolution of cyber crime techniques. But, above all, the unstoppable human impulse to click immediately without first counting to 10.\u00a0 This is a behaviour that, in general, in front of a monitor and a keyboard, can have serious consequences. In short, clicking on a link takes a moment, but it can take a long time and a lot of money to repair the damage that can result from this action.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cybercriminals are well aware of this and are aware that the key to their success lies in their ability to manipulate a person into performing specific actions. Despite what you might think, it is not only inexperienced users who fall into the trap, but also those with more experience, precisely because they move and act with more ease and repetition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Phishing attacks are created to induct people to act before thinking. To do so, hackers use some very efficient tips. Let\u2019s learn more about them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“A simple click is all it takes’, we frequently read on the web. But a click can be a weapon for ourselves and the company we work for. Interrupting the automatic click is essential to counteract cyber techniques and phishing success.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It is only possible to acquire the necessary awareness to move around the Internet more safely with the right training and education to acquire a hacker-proof digital posture.<\/p>\n
