UKaspersky uxwayise ngomkhonyovu omusha ozungeza emazweni ase-Europe ongase ufane neBrazil. Okubizwa ngokuthi " umkhonyovu wokubukisa ngesikrini ," lokhu kuhlasela kukhohlisa izisulu ukuthi zabelane ngesikrini sefoni yazo ngesikhathi samakholi wevidiyo, okuvumela izigebengu ukuthi zithwebule amakhodi okuqinisekisa, amaphasiwedi, nolunye ulwazi olubucayi. Bona ngezansi ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe mayelana nomkhonyovu nokuthi ungazivikela kanjani.
Lo mkhonyovu omusha awukakabonwa e-Brazil, kodwa unamandla okufika kuleli, njengoba izigebengu zaseBrazil zijwayele ukujwayela ngokushesha imikhonyovu esebenza kwezinye izifunda, futhi i-WhatsApp idume kakhulu endaweni. “Le modus operandi isivele irekhodiwe emazweni aseYurophu, njengasePortugal, futhi njengoba izindlela zobunjiniyela bezenhlalo ziphindaphindeka kalula, kubalulekile ukuthi abasebenzisi baseBrazil bazi futhi bazi ukuthi bangalubona kanjani lolu hlobo lokuzama ukukhwabanisa,” kuchaza uFabio Assolini, umqondisi wethimba leKaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis for Latin America.
Umkhonyovu ngokuvamile uqala ngekholi evela kothile ozenza omele ibhange, umhlinzeki wesevisi, noma ngisho noxhumana naye owaziwayo—isibonelo sakudala sobunjiniyela bezenhlalo. Phakathi nekholi, isigebengu sidala umuzwa wokuphuthuma futhi sicele isisulu ukuthi sabelane ngesikrini saso ukuze "siqinisekise" noma "silungise" inkinga esolwayo, silingise ukwesekwa kobuchwepheshe.

Isibonelo ngenketho yokwabelana ngesikrini phakathi nekholi yevidiyo.
Ngokwamukela, isisulu sidalula idatha eyimfihlo eboniswa kumakhalekhukhwini wakhe, njengamakhodi okuqinisekisa, amaphasiwedi, nezaziso ezivela ezinhlelweni zezimali. Sisizakala ngokubuka isikrini, isigebengu singazama ukuvula i-WhatsApp kwenye idivaysi: lapho sibhalisa inombolo yesisulu, i-WhatsApp ithumela Ikhodi Yokudlula Yesikhathi esisodwa (OTP) ocingweni—ikhodi umkhohlisi angayibona esazisweni futhi ayisebenzise ukuthatha i-akhawunti. Ngalokhu, abakhohlisi baqala ukuthumela imilayezo egameni lesisulu, becela imali othintana nabo futhi bandise ukufinyelela kokukhwabanisa.
Izigebengu zivame ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha: ngemva kokuthola ulwazi, zizama ukuqedela ukudluliselwa, ukushintsha amagama ayimfihlo, noma ukuvimba ukufinyelela kwesisulu kuma-akhawunti azo ngaphambi kokuba kutholakale inkinga.
“Nakuba kungesona isici esisha (eyethulwe ngo-Agasti 2023), umsebenzi wokwabelana ngesikrini ku-WhatsApp awaziwa futhi uyasetshenziswa kancane. Eqinisweni, siyaqala ngqa ukubona ukuhlaselwa konjiniyela bezenhlalo kuhlukumeza lesi sici. Nakuba siwusizo ezimeni lapho abantu bedinga usizo lobuchwepheshe, lesi sici sinamandla anonya uma sabelwana nabantu ongabazi. Ngaphandle kokungavumeli ukusebenza nokulawula okukude kwedivayisi, lo msebenzi usuvele wanele ukubona igama lomsebenzisi elibalulekile, kanye nedatha ebalulekile kanye nephasiwedi yokuxhumana nabantu. ubunjiniyela, kungaholela izisulu ekusizeni izenzo zabakhwabanisi,” kuchaza uFabio Assolini.
I-Meta isanda kumemezela amathuluzi amasha okuvikela abasebenzisi be-WhatsApp ne-Messenger ekukhwabaniseni okungenzeka. Phakathi kwezici ezintsha, i-WhatsApp manje izobonisa izixwayiso lapho othile ezama ukwabelana ngesikrini sakhe nomuntu ongaziwa ngesikhathi sekholi yevidiyo, okusiza ukuvimbela ukuvuza kolwazi oluyimfihlo, njengemininingwane yasebhange noma amakhodi okuqinisekisa.
Ukuze uzivikele kulo mkhonyovu, uKaspersky uncoma:
- Sebenzisa okuthi “Thulisa Izingcingo Ezingaziwa” ku-WhatsApp: iya kokuthi Izilungiselelo > Ubumfihlo > Izingcingo bese uvula inketho. Izingcingo ezivela ezinombolweni ezingaziwa zizothuliswa futhi zirekhodwe emlandweni, kodwa ngeke zikhale ocingweni lwakho.
- Ungalokothi wabelane ngesikrini sefoni yakho nabantu ongabazi, ngisho naphakathi kwamakholi wevidiyo.
- Qaphela izingcingo ezingalindelekile: amabhange asemthethweni nezinkampani aziwabuzi amakhodi noma ukwabelana ngesikrini.
- Ungabelani ngamakhodi okuqinisekisa (ama-OTP), ama-PIN, noma amaphasiwedi nezinkampani zangaphandle.
- Gwema ukusebenzisa izinhlelo zezimali kumadivayisi asengozini, njengama-smartphone amadala noma lawo angenazo izibuyekezo zokuphepha.
- Nika amandla ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili (i-2FA) kuzo zonke izinhlelo zakho zokusebenza zezimali nemiyalezo.
- Sebenzisa amathuluzi okuphepha, njenge- Kaspersky Who Calls , ukuze uhlonze futhi uvimbele amakholi wezinombolo ezisolisayo.
