WATCH OUT
A new phishing attack targeting mobile devices has been detected, using Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and WebAPK to bypass security measures on both iOS and Android. These fraudulent apps are distributed through malicious ads on social media and unsolicited messages. Once installed, the apps prompt victims to enter their banking credentials, which are then sent directly to the attackers. What’s most concerning is that these apps are nearly indistinguishable from legitimate ones, requiring extra caution when downloading and using mobile applications.
Make sure to download apps only from official stores and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Always verify the authenticity of any request before providing your personal information.

I LAUGH BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CRY
The alert that wasn't... but the post-it was
Imagine waking up on a Saturday in January 2018 to a missile alert on your phone, only to find out it was a mistake because someone at the Hawaii emergency center pressed the wrong button. It already sounds like a funny story, but the best (or worst) part came afterward. In a photo circulated by the media, showing Jeffrey Wong, the person responsible for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, at his workstation, post-its with passwords for an 'internal application' were visible on the screens for anyone to see. This is an example of how a simple lapse in attention can cast doubt on the cybersecurity of an entire organization. Lesson learned!
DISMISSING MYTHS
"My company is too small to be targeted by a cyberattack."
It's a common mistake to think that small businesses are not attractive targets for cybercriminals. In reality, small businesses are three times more likely to be attacked than large ones, and nearly half (41%) have experienced a cyberattack in the past year. Attackers look for any weakness in a company's defenses, regardless of its size. All businesses, no matter their size, must adopt preventive measures to protect their information and that of their customers.
