“Current collaborations have made responses to reports more immediate when it comes to cybersecurity, data privacy, and other related matters,” he added. Paraiso added that the agency together with social media companies will launch public awareness campaigns that educate the public about the risks of online harms and provide actionable steps to stay safe online.
CICC is advising the public to avoid using public Wi-Fi and use mobile networks instead. “People enjoy accessing these open Wi-Fi because they are free without realizing that their open and unsecured nature also makes them vulnerable to attackers,” Ramos said. “These fake customer service channels will target your personal information and money. Always check the source of the channel if it’s legitimate or not,” he said.Another form of online scam is the fake tech support where scammers will call to scare you that there is a problem with your account be it online banking, ecommerce site, or e-wallet in order to get your personal information.
