The mistakes we make in personal accounts and profiles can have a direct impact on our closest contacts. A few months ago, around Christmas, many users were victims of a cyber attack through WhatsApp. Cybercriminals stole WhatsApp accounts through a method in which they gained the victim's trust by usurping the identity of one of the victim's contacts. One of the biggest problems with this specific phishing is that practically everyone uses this instant messaging system to communicate on a daily basis, so the theft of an account can lead to the infection or attack of many other Internet users.

The FBI has recently announced the increase in deepfake profiles detected in the selection processes of some companies. Imposters use stolen videos, images, recordings, and identities, posing as someone else to get a remote IT job. Hiring a deepfake can lead to serious problems when that fake employee gains access to sensitive corporate information and customer data. Doing so can pose a threat to a company's data security, and the organization may not have the opportunity to bring the scammer to justice.

Theft of credentials, phishing or fraud are just some of the possible threats when clicking on a malicious email. Email is one of the main communication tools for organizations. Various studies show that more than 90% of cyberattacks start from the email inbox, which means closely monitoring any type of message. - Cybersecurity News (2022)

Delinea, a leading provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions for seamless security, has just published the conclusions of its study, conducted through a survey of more than 2,100 technology and security managers, revealing that 60% of respondents believe their overall security strategy is not keeping up with the current threat landscape, saying they are lagging behind (20%), stagnant (13%), or simply “on the run” ” to stabilize up to date (27%) with new security solutions. The survey, which has been carried out in more than 20 countries, including Spain, aims to discover the attitudes of those responsible for cybersecurity towards the security and protection of privileged identities.
