Ubuqhetseba beCyber abuyeki nasehlotyeni.

Eli phulo liye laqedwa ngomyalezo weSMS. Kule meko, abaphuli-mthetho bazenza uSantander kwaye bacacisele umsebenzisi ukuba kufuneka 'bacofe' kwikhonkco elikhapha umyalezo ukuba bafuna ukwahlula intlawulo okanye barhoxise intengo.
“SANTANDER: mthengi othandekayo, uza kwenza uthutho lwe-euro ezingama-215 ukusuka eAmazon ukuya kulwahlulo okanye ufumane iirisithi ukuze ugqibezele ukuqinisekiswa kulandelayo; (i-URL yobuqhophololo), inokufundwa kwi-SMS.

Indlela yokukhusela?
Zonke iingcali ze-cybersecurity zincoma ukungathembi ezo SMS okanye ii-imeyile ezivela kwiinkampani okanye iibhanki ezifuna ukusilumkisa. Eyona nto ilungileyo, kwezi meko, kukunxibelelana ngenye indlela nomntu othe wanxibelelana nathi ukuze kupheliswe nawaphi na amathandabuzo malunga nobunyani bonxibelelwano.
