What it is

A technique used by cybercriminals to impersonate an organisation by sending fraudulent emails to obtain confidential information.

Methods used

To impersonate the identity they are trying to impersonate and obtain information they use:

- Emails in which they usually include the company's logo or brand image and try to transmit fear so that the user performs the requested actions.

- SMS messages, phone calls or social networks through the creation of fake profiles.

General advice on how to protect yourself

Precautionary recommendations

- Do not reply to unsolicited mail or mail from unknown senders. Be wary of situations that come from the usual flow. Delete them directly

- Do not provide sensitive data to people whose identity you do not know.

- Verify that the person contacting you is who they say they are. Look carefully at the sender's real address.

- Be cautious with messages inviting you to take immediate action as a matter of urgency.

- Keep your operating system or antivirus updated
