The Cyber Security Center, which operates under the Transport and Communications Authority Traficom, warns the mobile certificate of a rushed SMS scam, which aims to get the victim to dispose of the confirmation code it uses in the mobile certificate.
Messages have recently been reported to the Cyber Security Center, which, among other things, realizes that the use of a mobile certificate will become a fee. There are also messages in the movement that fishes the confirmation code under the guise of a technical failure.
In cases that came to the attention of the authority, the victim has first received a text message and soon a request for approval of mobile certificate.
A mobile certificate is a safe way of authentication, but there is also fishing in its name. Cyber security center
Did you know about the anti -harassment code?
The Cyber Security Center advises that you can protect the use of a mobile certificate if you wish by adopting an anti -harassment code.
The anti -harassment code is a self -selected password, which is entered in addition to the phone number when authentication. It allows you to ensure that the phone does not receive mobile certificate approval requests, for example, if someone has entered their own phone number when logging in.
Once the anti -harassment code is enabled, there is no request for an identification request on the phone without a password.
