CyberKick, Safe-T Group’s Cybersecurity and Privacy for Consumers Unit, Releases its Q3 2022 Consumer Online Scam Report
November 07 2022 - 7:30AM
Safe-T® Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: SFET) (TASE: SFET) (“Safe-T” or the
“Company”), a global provider of cybersecurity and privacy
solutions to consumers and enterprises, today provided some
highlights of the latest online security threats consumers are
facing in a new Consumer Online Scam Report published by CyberKick
Ltd., its cybersecurity and privacy unit for consumers
(“CyberKick”). The new report was prepared by CyberKick’s
cybersecurity team and is based on a comprehensive review and
analysis of malicious activities detected by the CyberKick’s
24x7x365 data analysis program.
The report highlights several social engineering
scams currently widespread in cyberspace, including:
Email invoice scams: This is a
type of scam where the perpetrator sends an email purporting to be
from a legitimate company, asking the recipient to click on a link
to view an invoice. The link leads to a malicious website that may
install malware on the victim's computer or phish for personal
information. This type of scam is particularly common during tax
season, when scammers impersonate well-known service tax
preparation companies to trick people into giving up their personal
financial information.
Online shopping scams: This
scam is a fraudulent scheme that takes place on the internet,
typically involving the use of a counterfeit or stolen credit card
to make purchases. Scammers may also set up fake websites that
resemble legitimate online retailers to trick shoppers into
providing personal and financial information.
Phishing scams: These scams
involve offenders sending out emails or text messages that appear
to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a service
provider. The message will usually contain a link that connects the
victims to a fake website where they are asked to enter personal or
financial information.
Identity theft: This type of
scam occurs when someone obtains another person’s personal
information, such as their name, Social Security number, or bank
account number, without their permission and then uses it to commit
fraud.
"In the coming years, cyber-attacks will only
become more sophisticated, with consumers becoming more vulnerable
targets. Attackers keep changing their method of operation
according to online trends such as email invoicing, online shopping
during November and more," said Eitan Bremler, VP Product Strategy,
Marketing at Safe-T. "It is our goal to keep our customers informed
regarding new threats and to offer them advanced solutions to avoid
such threats."
