Cybersecurity expert reveals 4 words you should never click on — or risk bank fraud
"By stealthily recording sensitive personal and financial information, like usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers, [spyware] presents a significant risk," the expert said.
What are the risks of clicking on pop-up buttons?
Clicking on these buttons can trigger an automatic download of spyware, which can stealthily record sensitive personal and financial information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers, posing a significant risk to your identity.
How can I protect my device from spyware?
To protect your device, avoid downloading files from untrusted sources, especially file-sharing programs like torrents. Additionally, regularly update your operating system and web browser to ensure you have the latest security patches.
What should I do if I encounter a suspicious pop-up?
If you encounter a suspicious pop-up, it's best to close the entire browser. On a PC, you can use the task manager to end the task, while on a Mac, you can access 'force quit' from the dropdown menu to safely exit.
