自互联网诞生以来,现代网络犯罪的基本技术几乎没有改变:欺骗人们放弃对其个人信息和金钱的访问。 But the complexity of these scams has spiked in recent years due to advances in technology.

2024 年的最新数据显示,美国消费者向联邦贸易委员会 (FTC) 举报了 260 万起欺诈案件,与 2023 年持平。但消费者因这些诈骗损失了 124 亿美元,比上一年增加了 25%。

It might be tempting to simply break with technology altogether.但如果扔掉你的电脑并搬到离网农场不可行,那么有一些方法可以实践安全技术,幸运的是,不需要专家对网络安全的了解。

According to Wash and Rader, the human instinct for telling stories may provide one of the strongest defenses against cyberscams.

事情变化越多......

Wash began his academic career some 20 years ago researching cryptography, or the making and breaking of secret codes.他说,他很早就发现,“无论技术有多好,如果人们做出错误的决定,那么技术也无济于事。”

今天,沃什研究网络安全的人为因素,因为他解释说,“我认为这些因素比许多技术更重要。”

Technology has come a long way since Wash began researching cybercrime. But perhaps the biggest change, he says, is how much each individual is now asked to do to stay safe online.

与此同时,新兴技术使得网络诈骗变得更加复杂、更难发现,而且对于不太懂技术的诈骗者来说也更容易实施。

The typos and grammatical errors that were once the classic tell of the scam text or email? “AI has basically fixed all those,” Wash says.

Yet as much as technology has evolved, scammers’ basic techniques are more or less the same as ever.

他们越保持不变
