Archetyp Links

The crime wave continues to grow in the country and with the advancement of technology, cyber theft mechanisms become increasingly difficult to detect.A link to an unknown website can even mean the loss of money saved. For this reason, it is important to be jealous with the information we share with other people and even more if we do it on the phone.There are even data that should not be provided to any sector of the bank or other legitimate organization. Hacheo by phone? In recent days, one of the questions that has arisen is whether there is the possibility that a person is a victim of a hacker just by receiving or answering a phone call in a cellular network. María Belén Ortíz, director of the Utec cybersecurity career, explained that the answer is no, because the security protocols of mobile equipment do not allow malicious codes to be transmitted through a call. "For a hacking, the person would have to, for example, install malicious software or click on a dangerous link," he said. In this regard, he indicated that telephone communications serve as a hook for social engineering attacks in which criminals exploit people's confidence to reveal sensitive data. "In phone calls for phishing scams, known as" Vishing ", cybercounts are passed through legitimate entities, such as banks, insurers or public entities, to deceive the victim and obtain confidential information," he said. For this reason, he recommended that if he receives a suspicious call in which they make a certain entity through, it is better to hang and direct directly with the institution through the official channels.
