JAKARTA - Kaspersky said that several surveys in several countries stated that phone calls were one of the three largest fraudulent tools in the world.

Considering global trends in mobile security, Kaspersky Who Calls introduced a new feature blocking calls from numbers not contained in the device owner's contact list, as well as from hidden numbers.

This update is the next step of the global cybersecurity firm in strengthening protection from unwanted communications and potential fraud.

"With the latest update to the Kaspersky Who Calls app, we provide customers with the opportunity to limit unwanted calls and ensure that only known and trusted callers can contact them," said Marina Titova, Vice President, Marketing for Consumer Products at Kaspersky.

After activating this feature, Kaspersky Who Calls will automatically block calls from unknown numbers and immediately notify users.

However, users can also set this option and decide whether to enable or disable notifications. If blocked numbers are associated with known entities such as banks, health centers, and others, then this information will be included in pop-up notifications.

This ensures that users still get information about who is trying to contact them, thereby increasing control and security. This new feature is available in the paid version of Kaspersky Who Calls.

Our focus remains on providing practical and user-friendly solutions that improve privacy control and keep daily interactions safe and uninterrupted, Marina concluded.
