Actors often gain access to networks and devices by using social engineering, which 91裸聊视频渓ures victims to divulge account credentials or download malware,91裸聊视频� or by having targets download apps that seem legitimate but actually include malicious software.
91裸聊视频淎fter gaining access to devices, actors often install spyware on the devices,91裸聊视频� it says.
Those targeted often have a low capacity to defend themselves 91裸聊视频� for instance, due to a lack of internal IT support.
91裸聊视频淚ndividuals that fall under the civil society umbrella often rely on insecure channels for communication and need to manage public profiles to advance their work,91裸聊视频� the advisory cautions.
91裸聊视频淥rganizations with low defence capacity are ill-prepared for and vulnerable to common cyberthreats, such as social engineering attempts.91裸聊视频�
