After the leak of Pix keys, phishing attacks may increase --- This translation maintains the original tone and context, ensuring that the technical and specialized terminology is accurately conveyed. "Pix" refers to a real-time payment system in Brazil, and the translation reflects the potential increase in phishing attacks following the leak of Pix keys.

Netskope warns of a possible increase in phishing scams after the Central Bank reported the leak of data from over 25,000 Pix keys. Although the financial institution has stated in a notice through its official channels of communication with the affected users, it is estimated that more people will fall victim to scams of this nature in the coming days.

Criminals often exploit incidents like this to carry out social engineering attacks, aiming to obtain other personal and financial data from the victims. According to the Recent report from Netskope Threat Labs, the financial services sector faces significant risks from phishing and malware, with 4.7 out of every 1,000 users clicking on phishing links and 9.8 out of every 1,000 users accessing other malicious links monthly.

To avoid fraud, users – both domestic and corporate – must pay close attention to suspicious messages, always verify the authenticity of requests for personal and confidential information, as well as the authenticity of the websites and applications they will access, and keep their security devices and software up to date.
