JAKARTA - In the midst of the euphoria of the 2024 European Football Championship (UEFA), Kaspersky experts discovered a lot of fraud on behalf of this world match.

Starting from live-watch ticket fraud, crypto scams under the guise of well-known footballers, fake streaming link fraud, to Europe 2024 merchandise fraud.

Therefore, it is important for us to remain vigilant against cybercriminals who take advantage of this moment. In order to remain safe from fraud, Kaspersky experts share the following tips:

Authentic Verification: Only buying tickets, merchandise, or services from official and well-puted sources. Check the official website of the event for official sellers.

Becoming Skeptic about the Offer: If an offer looks too good to come true, maybe it's a scam. Be careful of large discounts and exclusive offers, especially if the offer comes from an unknown source.

Secure Your Data: Avoid sharing personal and financial information on a foreign website. Make sure the website is safe by searching for "https" in the URL and lock symbols in the browser bar.

Use Security Software: Always update your antiviral software and security to protect against malware and phishing attacks.

Educating Yourself: Stay informed about common fraud tactics and how to recognize them. Follow the updates from cybersecurity experts and official sources.
