More than 90% of successful cyberattacks are due to human error.
This type of cyberattack involves scammers sending fraudulent emails and text messages that prompt you to click on a malicious link. These messages often appear to be from reputable brokers or institutions. However, they direct you to a fake website designed to take your banking information and siphon your funds into the scammer's account.
With the rise of Generative AI, scammers are going to greater lengths to trick you into sharing your information. Deepfake impersonation is on the rise, and fake brokers are now using video and phone calls to further their schemes, making their deceptions even more convincing.
What you should look out for ?
Always verify the legitimacy of the source contacting you. Consider why they are reaching out and examine their credentials carefully.
Ensure the email is from a legitimate address, specifically one ending in @neex.com, and not from any other domain.
Look out for spelling and grammatical inconsistencies in the text, which can be indicators of a scam.
If you have any doubt, avoid clicking on links. A single click could have significant consequences.
Educate yourself on the risks and consequences of falling for cyber scams.
