The Romanian national cyber security response team (DNSC) warns about rising risks for card owners
The Romanian national cyber security response team (DNSC) warned again about the risks card owners expose themselves to, offering internet access to their personal data, without trying to find out who asks them to do that. According to the representative of the institution, Mihai Rotariu, hackers have become more skilled, with time.
Mihai Rotariu: The Romanian national cyber security response team noticed that attackers use texts that are very well written in Romanian, adapted to the rules of the language, in fishing or Scam attacks. Most probably, attackers already start to use the artificial intelligence more frequently, in order to obtain, through automatization and context adaptation a higher success rate than before. The main focus of the attackers is to build such attack scenarios to determine us to click a link, to download or to access an attachment or to install a strange app, so it’s absolutely necessary to interact with the potential victim. Therefore, we make an appeal to the user to form a series of online security reflexes, similar to those in real life.
