A PDVSA worker reported the disappearance of his funds from the Patria wallet and the authorities of the CICPC Computer Crimes Division carried out the corresponding investigations, detecting that the fraudsters obtained the private keys of the users and entered the accounts of the homeland platform.

Once they managed to enter, they transferred the cryptocurrencies by falsifying the identity documents, later, the hackers exchanged the cryptoactives for bolivars that they transferred to their personal bank accounts.

The director of the institution did not reveal how the cybercriminals managed to access the private keys of those affected.

The report published by the exchange house also refers to the links that the relatives of the high-ranking officials have with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, despite the prohibition that exists in Russian law for those officials, their spouses and minor children to invest in this type of asset.

Facebook, in an effort to keep some risk accounts even more secure, is reinstating its Protect program and will soon force high-profile subscribers like journalists, politicians, and human rights activists to enable two-factor authentication (2FA).

The social network will begin this process globally in the coming months, giving priority to accounts that the company considers risky. That is, those “most likely to be attacked by malicious hackers.” By mid-February 2022, the company plans for North American users with this type of profile to start with two-factor authentication.

This program was first experienced in 2018 with US politicians, before the 2020 elections. Slowly, but progressively, the social network has been expanding the program to other users considered at risk and it is eventually expected that it may be available on more than 50 countries, including India.

Facebook encourages the use of “third-party authentication applications” and highlighted that it is doing some work that will allow “the registration and use of 2FA to be as simple as possible for these groups of people by providing a better user experience and support.”

Meta’s security policy chief, Nathaniel Gleicher, pointed out that more than 1.5 million accounts at risk are registered in the Protect program and 950,000 of them activated 2FA. He additionally reported that approximately 4 % of monthly users have it enabled for their accounts.

Google will automatically activate, as of November 9, for millions of users of their accounts the security function of two-step verification, which requires confirming the identity in the access through techniques such as SMS codes sent to the mobile.

In May, Google had already announced that it would extend two-factor authentication to all its users during this year 2021. This system, which could already be used by those who had configured it in their accounts, will be applied automatically.

Now, the company has begun to send notifications to the users of its accounts in which it informs them that the start date of the mandatory two-step verification is next November 9, as reported by Gizmochina.

This measure, which Google assured would be applied to all Google accounts configured correctly, adds an additional layer of security to access, and in addition to the username and password, it requires the use of one-time passwords sent by SMS to the phone or to another mail account.

Likewise, another technique contemplated for two-factor authentication is the use of security keys that can be physically connected to the device and that are already compatible with iOS and Android computers and mobiles.

Google had detailed in a previous statement that it planned to automatically roll out the two-step verification feature to an additional 150 million users of its accounts, as well as 2 million YouTube creators.
