To detect whether we are dealing with a possible case of deepfake , it is advisable to look at the number of times the person blinks. Humans blink faster than the deepfake algorithm . Another way to detect it is if the body and posture match the face. The sound and quality of the recording and seeing where the video comes from are issues to take into account to know if we are dealing with false content.
Sextortion . Sextortion or sexual extortion on the Internet is one of the most widespread cybercrimes. It consists of blackmailing a person through a nude image that they have shared on the Internet through sexting. Sexting refers to the sending of erotic or pornographic content via mobile phones.
The modus operandi is usually always the same. Someone contacts the user, informs them that they have intimate or sexual material of theirs and sends them proof. In exchange for not publishing it on social line data networks and sharing it with their network of family and friends, they ask for a sum of money. In many cases, the criminals do not have any compromising content, but they make the victim believe that they do.
If we ever find ourselves involved in a case of sextortion, the police recommend avoiding replying to the message, not paying under any circumstances, and reporting it as soon as possible. But also, to prevent it, we should never send, forward, or ask anyone to take intimate photos of us.
The cloud carries a series of vulnerabilities and threats that make this technology one of the biggest cyber risks of the future. Just the simple possibility of transferring data between thousands of users already poses a significant security risk. If these are not correctly encrypted, cybercriminals can access them very easily. Therefore, if the necessary protection measures are not in place to guarantee the security of the entire system, the advantages and benefits of the cloud disappear in a flash. Insecure APIs, poor access, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are some of the main vulnerabilities of this technology.
Banking Trojans . A banking Trojan is a malware that aims to steal data from electronic banking accounts. One of the fastest-growing cyberthreats is mobile banking Trojans, which increased by more than 58 percent over the past year. During the first quarter of 2019, the computer security firm Kaspersky detected around 30,000 families of banking Trojans, which attempted to attack a total of 312,235 unique users – or around 100,000 potential victims per month.
One of the latest banking Trojans was Ginp, which impersonated the apps of several Spanish banks on Android. When a user opened the bank's app and Ginp had infiltrated their smartphone, the Trojan detected this movement and superimposed a screen identical to that of the bank over the legitimate app.
For example, to carry out operations such as transfers of more than €30, double authentication is always required with a code that the ruralvía user receives on their mobile phone.
