On the Internet, and in general with technology, we cannot trust everything we see or hear, and we are already seeing through the secrets that behind anything that is apparently legitimate and safe can hide a deception that empties our bank account or that steals our personal data.
On this occasion, it has been Movistar who is alerting all its clients of a new vhishing campaign that impersonates them with the aim of obtaining sensitive information from the victims. As they have explained it all starts with a phone call in which a supposed company technician informs you that they are going to change your WiFi router for a new and better one.
They ask you if you agree with it, to which the vast majority of people say yes, and then they inform you that they are going to send you an SMS asking you for a code that you must provides. With this code, You are giving them access to tools that can change your My Movistar passwordsthe operator’s self-management app.
If you fall for the scam, attackers will be able to see your personal data, consult your contracted products and activate/deactivate services, which could cause you financial damages.
From Movistar advises to immediately hang up the call and block the number on your phone. In the event that you have delivered the SMS code, what they recommend is change the Mi Movistar password as soon as possible, Do not sign any contract that you may receive and quickly notify Movistar.
The truth is that this scam is working very well, because it is not easy to detect. It must be our instinct that should alert us since the details that reveal the deception are very few. For example, We only see some spelling and grammatical errors in the SMS he sends usn, which should put us on alert, in addition to the fact that To change our router for a new one, it makes no sense to ask us for our access code.
