Is cryptocurrency investment a good option when you don't know the market?

A 72-year-old from Gdańsk tested it on his own skin and (unfortunately) it was not a good idea. After the investment, the man was to receive a very large profit. The credibility of this scam was strengthened by the images of famous people, good opinions and a "professional" looking website for investing (everything was false, of course). The man, encouraged by such positive opinions and encouraged by the criminals, transferred his savings and then additionally took out a loan. Only after doing the latter did he realize there was something wrong and reported it to the police.

Due to a fairly serious case of contamination of the Odra River, many of us received SMSs today. The Government Center for Security has notified about the ecological threat

Despite the fact that we receive the message from the addressee "Alert RCB", the content of the SMS is slightly disturbing. A strange looking string of numbers that doesn't look random. After a while, however, we got the correct SMS.

What could it be?

It is possible that it was simply a failed test, or a bug in the software that is sending these alerts.

Therefore, you should not be afraid of such text messages, but it is still worth approaching them with a distanc

As reported by the portal Bezprawnik.pl, the theft procedure could last several years. Sensitive data, i.e. PESEL number, name, surname were to be stolen. On the government website gov.pl, a message about a security audit was carried out, which showed that during this time, many times an unauthorized person could have access to data from the Land and Mortgage Register.

Recently, there has been a proposal to create a system that would allow for the reservation of the PESEL number. We described it in our other post. Reserve

According to the Gazeta Prawna website, is to arise central base that will give you abilitiy to block your PESEL number for free. This will make it impossible to take out a PESEL loan or payday loan.

 

Such a solution:

- It will increase data security
- Ability to control the situation in the event of data leakage


At the moment, the method of operation of such a website is unknown. At one point, when signing the moment, it will be possible to unblock the PESEL number, then, after concluding a contract with a bank or telecommunication operator, block it.


This could be a breakthrough solution.

As Niebezpiecznik.pl reports, many people have been receiving text messages with information about the activation of the "Christian quote for each day" service, its cost is "only" PLN 19.90 / week. Thus, it can be seen that this is quite a painful financial scam.

Fraudsters inform us that we can turn OFF the service by sending a message to the number that wrote us a text message with the title "JESUS ​​I TRUST IN YOU". The problem is that we activate the paid subscription with this message.

What to do when we receive this type of SMS?

Few days ago, there was a meeting in which the mayor of Berlin had the pleasure of meeting Vitali Klitschko. Or so she thought at first. After time, however, it was realized that this is not a real person, but a deepfake. The alleged Kłyczko seemed credible at first, but after a few minutes people began to suspect that something was wrong. The main reasons for disbelief were questions about the number of Ukrainian refugees admitted to the capital. Also he asked to send Ukrainian refugees back to the country.


What is deepfake? It is a photo or video processing technique that combines two or more videos / photos using artificial intelligence so that it is as credible as possible.
