“Make sure to check the source of e-mails received, the incoming calls, the type of information required, and do not download any attachments from unknown sources in order to avoid infecting your device,” the Abu Dhabi Digital Authority said on Twitter.
According to recent reports from police and banking institutions, many people have fallen victim to online fraud operations and had their money stolen due to a lack of caution in their financial dealings online.
The authority advised people to keep their operating systems and software up-to-date as it helps the devices provide better protection, and enables them to detect and delete viruses that can steal data.
“This caution is one of the most important tools that protect against cyber risks,” said authorities.
“Mass mail attack is one of the types of service disruption attacks. It involves sending a large number of e-mail messages to a single e-mail address in a short period of time, with the aim of exceeding the user’s inbox space and these attacks may cause the e-mail server to malfunction.”
