Traps on the web
Channel Training / Season One Episodes
FROM HEAVEN TO HELL IN ONE CLICK / CEO FRAUD
The CEO scam is an increasingly effective and widespread online scam which causes economic damage to those who suffer it. The scammer, posing as a top manager within the organisation, invites a target employee to take a targeted action to steal money.
THE PERFECT STORM / REMOTE WORKING
Remote working has spread rapidly, becoming one of the working methods preferred by many today. Unfortunately, the overlap between the private and professional dimensions makes the attack surface much wider and more vulnerable.
IT’S JUST A GAME! / PASSWORD
The password is the key to our digital world. Would you ever give your house keys to a stranger? Attention to passwords is a fundamental element for protecting the security of our information and our identity on the web.
FOR A “FISTFUL” OF SONGS / USB DEVICE
Inserting a USB stick into a computer has become a natural gesture. But behind that seemingly harmless device, Malware can easily hide. Careless use of personal and business devices does not help.
CAUGHT IN THE NET / PUBLIC WI-FI
We are now used to being constantly interconnected, and every public place now provides free Wi-Fi for its visitors. Behind this great convenience, however, there may be a significant risk to our digital security.
WORST DEAL EVER / SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Social Engineering attacks, based on psychological manipulation of the victim, are becoming increasingly dangerous and sophisticated. To prevent them, we need to raise our guard about how we interact with digital technologies.
SCAMMERS’ TECHNIQUES ARE ENDLESS / DEEPFAKES
Deepfakes are the new frontier of Cyber attacks, a real leap in quality in criminal strategies. This technique of falsifying videos, audio and images uses Artificial Intelligence and is increasingly difficult to detect.
LEARN TO READ! / RANSOMWARE
One of the most dangerous attacks of the Cyber dimension is the one carried out with Ransomware. Malware that can bring any organisation to its knees. A Ransomware attack can block any activity, with a loss of money and image.
THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF THE ACCOUNT / SIM SWAP
Who would have thought that the smartphone would take on such a critical function, to the point of becoming a target of cybercrime? In this episode we look at a sophisticated scam, known as SIM Swap.
IN YOUR SHOES / IDENTITY THEFT
An increasingly widespread threat is so-called identity theft, which, in the digital dimension, can occur in many ways. This episode reflects on this threat, in an attempt to draw attention to the importance of personal data.
THE CROCODILE TECHNIQUE / SCAM WEBISITES
Just as the crocodile waits for its prey hidden in a pool of water, so the Cyber criminals wait for their prey hidden in the Internet. In this episode, a scam that reproduces, in digital format, the crocodile technique.
FATAL REIMBURSEMENT / SMISHING
The new frontier of deception is called smishing: a variation of the most widespread Cyber attack technique, that of phishing, but carried out through the sending of deceptive text messages or through the use of a messaging system.
