The Social Security issued an alert about fraud attempts directed at citizens. The Social Security Institute (ISS) reported that fraudulent messages are being sent in its name, containing a link to a fake page.

These fraudulent messages improperly use the image and visual identity of the Social Security portal, seeking to deceive citizens into clicking on the malicious link.

The ISS is alerting and urging citizens not to click on links in these messages and not to provide any personal or sensitive information through these channels.

The alert was published on the official website of the Social Security Institute, which recommends that citizens ignore these communications and be wary of unsolicited messages requesting personal data.
