Hello everyone, it's weekend again I hope you are all enjoying your weekend without your loved ones. Thanks to @galenkp for the great initiative of the #weekend-engagement.
The more the world is advancing in term of technology they more rampage the cybercrime and this criminal are taking the advantages of the new technology. They are becoming more agile and more tricky and are using different tactics since people have known of their old tricks.
The rate at which they are robbing people of their asset is becoming more unbearable. The world have become more advanced and more connected and the cybercriminals are taking their chances which is causing a huge problem to the world economy.
It's like they have a monitoring spirit, they knows exactly where and how to attack. There was a time that I almost become a victim. My ATM card needed to be renew and I went to bank for renewal. The second day that I renew my ATM card, I got a call from a strange number. The moment I picked the call they asked me it I was the one with so so so information and I said yes. They told me that I collected my ATM card a day before and I also said yes. The person now said there was a problem with my account that they need to rectify for me so I should call the last six digit number at the back of my ATM card so that they can help me with it.
I was about to take my ATM card and call the number for them but my mind kicked against it when I remembered the message the bank sent to me that they will never ask for a sensitive information. I called the old ATM card number for them but they rejected it and said I should give them the new card number. I told them that I will come to the bank if I need to do anything on my account but they started persuaded me to allow them to do it for me and that is when I know for certain that they are frauds.
I end the call immediately and when I got to the bank the following day, they told me that they never called me for anything that whenever such call enter I should ignore it. What if I have call the number for them I couldn't even imagine what might have happen.
There are some people who are not aware of such information and have lost their money, for the fact that they have access to my personal information means they can do more than that ant that is why cybersecurity is really important in order to protect the others data from their reach because once they have access to sensitive data, personal information data, they can do as they want. Without cybersecurity all those data can not protect themselves and they are always on the lookout for a breach in the organization program in order to be able to penetrate.
Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
