Malicious people had managed to infiltrate the information system of these institutions to download data, and then threaten to publish them for ransoms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second most prominent cybercrime attack is ramsomware [ransomware, ransomware or extortion software], which are computer attacks that will not steal your data but rather encrypt it, i.e. say make them unusable,\u00a0\u00bb he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Aly Kande\u0301 reveals that threats of dissemination of personal content account for no less than 35 percent of cybercrime complaints in Senegal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo just give you an idea, in 2022 we received over 3,600 complaints of threats to release personal data,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that we must always return to raising awareness by insisting on the danger posed by the use of mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"bin\/Users\/Kati\/postMediaimg_1_1.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Today, people who take the risk of filming themselves should know that there are several ways for these images to leak.
