By scanning a code from an untrusted source, you could open the door to a dark world that redirects you to a fraudulent site.
Among the ghosts that can haunt your digital security are phishing, malware, social engineering, and vulnerabilities in the devices and platforms you use.
Phishing is a technique that cybercriminals use to obtain confidential information by impersonating trusted entities. Malware, on the other hand, refers to malicious programs that seek to damage or access your device without your consent.
Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into revealing personal information. It's important to be alert to these types of scams to protect your data.
Finally, vulnerabilities in devices and platforms are open doors for cyberattacks. Keeping your programs and operating systems updated can prevent many of these issues.
Therefore, it is essential to stay informed and take security measures to protect your data and avoid falling into the clutches of these digital ghosts.
