Kuwait city: The National Cyber Security Center: The National Cyber Security Center has issued a call for heightened vigilance due to an increase in online hacking attempts and account theft.
According to Kuwait News Agency, a significant number of these unauthorized activities have taken place within the WhatsApp platform, where hackers have gained access to users' accounts without any interaction from the account holders. The Center emphasized the importance of updating telephone applications and systems and encouraged the activation of two-factor authentication (FA2) on all applications to enhance security.
Users are advised to report any suspicious contacts or messages to the relevant authorities and to refrain from sharing any icons or passwords under any circumstances. The Center's statement, which was posted on its X website, highlighted these steps as critical measures in protecting personal and sensitive information from cyber threats.
