Fraudes electrónicos

Spam y phishing.

A la mayoría de nosotros todos los días nos llegan correos electrónicos no deseados (es posible que algunas ocasiones sean más los no deseados que los deseados), estos correos son conocidos como spam y phishing.

¿Qué son?

Spam: Son todos aquellos mensajes publicitarios no deseados y de remitente desconocido los cuales son sumamente molestosos. Van desde los productos adelgazantes, viagra, pornografía, etc.

Phishing: Correos hechos por ciberdelincuentes para obtener datos personales relacionados con contraseñas e información de acceso a servicios financieros, principalmente, utilizando páginas web que copian exactamente el diseño de la imagen de los bancos y grandes empresas.

Diferencias:

El spam busca anunciar un producto o servicio, mientras que el phishing sólo va tras información personal y financiera.

El phishing suplanta la identidad de una empresa reconocida tratando de engañarte, el spam puede venir de una empresa que realmente exista.

En el caso del spam por lo general va a sitios donde se puede adquirir el producto o servicio anunciado, pero con las campañas de phishing, lo único que vas a conseguir es que te roben tu información personal.

El spam se encuentra en servicios gratuitos de alojamiento, sin embargo, el phishing se encuentra en sitios web legítimos pero vulnerables creados por los ciberdelincuentes.

Las campañas de spam suelen extenderse a foros, buscadores y diversos servicios gratuitos en Internet, y el phishing está más enfocado en usuarios de un determinado país o región.

Como usuarios de los correos electrónicos y de las redes sociales debemos estar prevenidos de estos mensajes y no terminar en la lista de las personas que han sido engañadas y robadas. Lo mejor es nunca abrir este tipo de correos no deseados.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism. In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism. But let's start by defining fanaticism: According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”. For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that ar...
