Social Security issued an alert to citizens about the existence of fraudulent messages that are circulating via mobile phone. These fraudulent messages claim that access to the Social Security portal and subsidies is suspended.
The objective of these messages is to deceive recipients into clicking on malicious links or providing personal and financial data. This is a phishing attempt, a technique frequently used by cybercriminals to steal sensitive information.
Authorities recommend that citizens ignore this type of message, not click on suspicious links, and not share personal data. Social Security reminds that it never requests confidential information through text messages.
