The number of scams in electronic commerce has increased surprisingly in recent years. Hence, the necessity to intensify security measures, as well as apply common sense and intuition to avoid being a victim. Some security recommendations that do not lose validity include:

Strong passwords

Access to the different platforms of daily use is done through a password. On some platforms, it has a validity period; but even if it has not expired, it is advisable to change it as a measure to reinforce data security and prevent sophisticated cybercriminals from accessing your personal information or your credit and debit cards.

Updating your apps

If you’ve received a message that an update is available, first check that it’s a genuine notification from your provider’s app store. Then, install the update to protect the sensitive information you store and share in your apps.

Common sense when faced with malicious messages

Receiving messages, emails, notifications with spelling mistakes, without the logo of the company that is supposedly trying to communicate with the user, as well as the use of language that does not correspond to regular contacts, should alert people to a possible scam attempt. It is essential, if possible, not to open or respond to such communications until you confirm with the sender that it is a genuine message and not a phishing scam.

Beware of “too good” offers

Incredible promotions, which are often called “too good”, can hide a scam for the customer. The best thing in these cases is to make sure that the brand is really offering very good offers or discounts before entering the card details and placing merchandise in the shopping cart.

Can you avoid falling for a scam?

It is advisable that the customer carefully reads the fine print on each portal, digital store or platform where they wish to buy or join in order to know the rules of use, security and complaint mechanisms, whether for breach of contract or in the case of a scam. In addition, it is essential to know which are the local consumer protection agencies as well as the legal bodies and free telephone lines to report and receive assistance. It is recommended to keep the names, telephone numbers, emails and addresses of these agencies in a personal diary, so that if necessary, they can be contacted quickly.

Russia’s Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights has acknowledged its intention to ban the Wikipedia encyclopedic portal, but not before developing a national “alternative”.

“We need to create an alternative as soon as possible and close Wikipedia (…). I am not calling to close it tomorrow, but of course we must move towards closing Wikipedia, because it is an ideological and politicized product,” said the president of the aforementioned council. , Valery Fadeev.

Fadeev has denounced that the portal is full of “distortions” in articles related to political or historical events, thus alluding to the section on the war in Ukraine, a text for which Russia has even denounced Wikipedia.

For his part, Igor Ashmanov, a member of the Presidential Council for Civil Development and Human Rights, has even gone so far as to classify Wikipedia as “a strategic weapon of the enemy”, and has reported that Russia is working on the Knowledge portal, based on the Great Russian Encyclopedia, according to the Interfax agency.

Although the Russian authorities have repeatedly urged Wikipedia to remove content classified as prohibited by Moscow, the portal’s managers have not removed such information, so Russia has included it in search engines as a “domestic infringer”.

An increasing number of users have expressed their disapproval of YouTube ads, which, according to some, has included up to ten of them consecutively and without giving the option to skip them.

Ad breaks usually appear on the video platform just before a content starts, although the creator also has the option to include an ad at the time of the same that they consider appropriate.

However, more and more users are turning to platforms like Twitter and Reddit to make their discontent with the situation clear, especially in the last two months. In recent weeks, they point out that the platform’s ads have grown in number and duration. They also criticize the alleged increase in the amount of advertising that cannot be skipped by the user.

The most extreme cases recorded show clusters of up to ten consecutive announcements. None of them giving the user the option to go directly to play the video.

YouTube has not commented on it. The platform’s only allusion to this problem was on Twitter. There, his team’s account acknowledged the existence of “bump erads” after a user’s complaint.

This advertising format is characterized, according to YouTube, by showing several consecutive ads at the beginning of a video and lasting approximately six seconds. And it does not allow the user to skip them.

Australia announced the introduction of legislation for social networks to provide information about trolls or users who are engaged in posting defamatory or offensive comments against other people. This was reported at a press conference by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Scott stressed that in real life people are not offending and attacking others without consequences; therefore, they consider that in the virtual world it should not happen either. “The online world shouldn’t be a Wild West where bots, bigots, trolls and others roam anonymously and can harm people.”

The new law provides for a “complaints mechanism” that will allow citizens to demand that social networks remove any information or content “that they consider to be defamatory, attacking or intimidating”.

If the platform refuses, a court could rule that it report the identity of the “anonymous commenter” and if the platform does not comply with the decision and does not provide the identification data of the commenter or is not able to identify him, “the responsibility will fall on the company and a court will force her to pay a fine.”

The announcement was made by the Prime Minister after the Supreme Court of Australia ruled that the owners of social networks can be considered “publishers” and therefore “responsible for the public comments made by users.”

According to Morrison, virtual companies created the space and it is necessary that they make it safe, otherwise they will be forced through the legislation.

The WhatsApp messaging application will access the last five messages of a chat conversation in cases where one of its members reports it, in order to verify the veracity of the complaint.

This was reported by the application through a notification present in one of its versions for software testers, update 2.21.18.10, not yet available, as indicated by several specialized portals.

WhatsApp already informs users in its stable version that it sends the most recent messages to the company for the review of a report in a chat, but now the new message from the app specifies that the last five messages are sent.

It also informs them that they can block and delete the conversation, but that this will not delete the data from the other person’s account. The WhatsApp notice continues to inform that the rest of the affected contacts will not be notified of the complaint.
