This evolution, however, has opened new frontiers not only for users, but also for IT criminals, who have refined increasingly sophisticated techniques to access users&#8217; savings.

These communications use an alarmistic tone (e.g. &#8220;your account has been blocked&#8221;) to push to click on a link that leads to a clone site, where you are asked to insert your access credentials, which are thus stolen. Similar variants are lo <strong>demishing<\/strong> (Phishing via SMS) and the <strong>Vishing<\/strong> (telephone scams in which a fake operator tries to extort information).<\/p><div id=\"forum-1603417510\" class=\"forum-content-2 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>A more complex and insidious threat is the <strong>SIM Swap<\/strong>: In this case, the scammers, after collecting personal information on the victim, contact the telephone operator by impersonating it and, with an excuse, manage to obtain the transfer of his number on a new SIM in their possession. In this way, they can intercept all the safety codes sent via SMS, such as those to authorize bank transactions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.89 --><\/p>\n<h3>Good daily practices: the first line of defense<\/h3>\n<p>The best defense against online fraud starts from one&#8217;s daily behaviors. The first rule, not negotiable, is the activation of the<strong>two -factor authentication (2fa)<\/strong> on all accounts, not only on the banking one. This system adds a second level of protection in addition to the password, requesting a temporary code generated by an app or sent via SMS to be able to access.<\/p><div id=\"forum-4249110297\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.89 --><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it is essential to abandon the habit of using simple or repeated passwords for multiple services.

Technology plays a fundamental role in improving the safety of an online current account. Modern banks implement <strong>Transactions monitoring systems based on artificial intelligence<\/strong> able to detect in real time anomalous or suspicious activities (such as a payment of unusual amount from a foreign location) and to block them in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Access to banking apps is increasingly protected by <strong>systems of<\/strong> <strong>Biometric authentication<\/strong> such as facial recognition or fingerprint, which are much more difficult to replicate than a simple password.<br \/>In addition, the European PSD2 directive introduced the <strong>Strong Customer Authentication<\/strong> (SCA), which requires the use of <strong>At least two independent authentication factors<\/strong> To authorize most of the payment operations, making life much more difficult for scammers.<\/p>\n<h3>Mini-guide: what to do immediately in case of suspicious attack<\/h3>\n<p>The speed of reaction is essential to limit the damage, so if it is suspected of having been the victim of a fraud or having compromised your data, you must immediately follow some simple steps.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Contact your bank immediately<\/strong>: Call the toll -free number dedicated to blocking cards and operations and explain the situation. The operator can block access to the account and the cards connected to prevent further unauthorized movements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change all passwords<\/strong>: Change the password of the home banking and all other important services (email, social networks), especially if you use the same password on multiple platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread the voice and denounce<\/strong>: Notifying your contacts if the email or social account has been compromised, to prevent the scammer from using other people. In addition, you have to go to the postal police as soon as possible to file a formal complaint of the incident.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.89 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to home banking and payment apps that allow you to carry out complex operations with the simplicity of a tap on the smartphone, offering an unthinkable comfort until a few years ago, the management of the money has moved almost definitively online.
