Cybersecurity experts warn of rising digital threats and evolving online risks

Cybersecurity experts are highlighting the growing need for digital awareness and the evolving risks associated with online activities. In Angola, specialist Alberto Afonso is advocating for increased training and sensitization for both citizens and companies to combat rising cybercrimes linked to increased internet access. To address these threats, the company Cyber Security is organizing its 5th cybersecurity event in Luanda to focus on organizational prevention and response strategies.

In Brazil, the regulation of the betting market has raised new concerns among security leaders. Experts from Gen and Kaspersky warn that as official betting platforms face changes, users may turn to unregulated websites or unknown applications. This shift increases vulnerability to phishing, malware distribution, and the installation of malicious APK files on Android devices. Criminals may exploit this transition by creating fraudulent sites that mimic known services to steal personal and financial information.
