A click on your phone or computer can often lead to the theft of your personal data or money in your bank account. Global statistics show that over 90% of cybersecurity incidents start with human error. In a world that is increasingly connected through technology, specialists show how to protect ourselves.
"When making an online purchase, we should be a little more careful, the focus is on domain.al because these domains are monitored by the authorities. Buying with a debit card with not much balance, especially when we are beginners, can make mistakes. Criminals can take your card and use it. Most sites should have that lock on top that shows that the security is encrypted. On sites that have PayPal, you are protected, it is good to use it especially on international sites, because PayPal gives you your money back ," said Tomi Kallanxhi, IT specialist.
Attackers today often don't need to break codes; a trick on social networks is enough.
"Vote for me at this link, you should not share any SMS that comes to you from social media with anyone, because they can steal your social media by sending you the 6-digit code," he told "Abc News".
And the desire to help can often lead to mistakes. If you've fallen victim to a WhatsApp message, the scammer may communicate in your name, but unlike other social media, you can get your account back much more quickly, while previous conversations are only left on your phone.
"Sending phishing messages is done to users who send this six-digit password to others, but there is something that no one can access to Whatsapp and know the conversations, the data is stored on your phone not in the Meta cloud, even if you make a mistake you can re-login with your number and access it again, unlike other media that all your data is stored on Meta, if they get your account, they get all your data ," the expert continued.
According to specialists, technology is just a tool; how we use it is what makes the difference.
