Eli Faskha, CEO of Soluciones Seguras, emphasizes the importance of verifying the source of images or videos on digital platforms and verified websites. He stresses the need to verify the accuracy of information related to elections and to be cautious when interacting with online content.
In this sense, Faskha warns about the risks of cybersecurity during electoral processes, such as the spread of fake news, misinformation, and the creation of fraudulent websites. Cybercriminals take advantage of these scenarios to steal data, impersonate identities, and commit various crimes.
The expert points out that with the approaching elections, there is an expected increase in the circulation of audios, videos, and images generated with AI, which facilitates the spread of lies and misinformation.
Additionally, the importance of implementing the best cybersecurity practices to prevent information theft is highlighted, such as creating strong passwords, using password managers, and two-factor authentication.
Faskha also warns about misinformation in elections, which can undermine trust in the democratic process. The intentional spread of false information in order to influence public opinion or generate confusion is a significant risk.
The expert recommends being cautious when interacting with online content, using official and reliable sources, and avoiding opening emails or attachments from unknown senders. He also alerts about the proliferation of malicious domains and the manipulation of videos and images through AI to deceive the population.
In conclusion, the importance of being vigilant against online misinformation and strengthening cyber security measures to protect against possible cyber attacks is emphasized.
