CYBERSECURITY TIPS

SPAM

Emails with information about sales or promotions should only come from the official account, Leading Destinations, it does not carry out campaigns aimed at obtaining information or requesting customer data.

PHISHING

It is a type of SPAM that consists of sending emails whose objective is to obtain confidential information to carry out illegal acts and / or fraud, these emails usually contain links or files that can activate malware on computers.

PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY

  • Protect your identity (username and password) to access your account.
  • Do not use public machines to consult your information.
  • Always try to verify what information you are capturing on the site.

In order to avoid having more of these cases, we encourage you to not reveal information about your membership in social media groups that are not the official ones (our official groups are closed and every member invited has been checked in our system before inviting them).

SMISHING

Smishing is the use of deception methods through SMS or mobile text messages to obtain personal information from the user and make fraudulent use of it. Remember that Legendary Vacation Club will not send you text or SMS messages or through other applications. Do not respond to those text messages offering offers, or click on the links they may contain.

VISHING

VISHING (Voice over internet protocol). Similar to smishing, this occurs through a text message and a subsequent call to verify data and request access to confidential information, it is important to validate that the numbers from which we dial or receive messages are the official ones.

Scammers can spoof phone numbers, so we recommend that you do not fully trust caller ID and be vigilant for unusual requests or behavior. If you are suspicious of the call, it may be a fraud. Follow these steps:

 Use an updated and activated antivirus to protect your computers.
If they ask for sensitive information, hang up immediately and report it.

MALWARE

  • Cyber criminals have developed malware that allows them to steal information from your computers and mobile devices, within which they can steal your financial information, to avoid this:
  • Use an updated and activated antivirus to protect your computers.
  • Don’t download software from unsafe sites and don’t install pirated software.
  • Keep your operating system and applications up to date.
  • Don’t open and download email content from unknown recipients.

PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER AND INTERNET CONNECTION

Check that your antivirus is up to date.

Make sure the internet connection is secure, such as private or VPN Wi-Fi networks.

Do not download files to your computer from unsafe or dubious sites as it may be a virus, a program to steal your information (Spyware) or a link that consists of manipulating DNS addresses to lead the user to a false web page (Pharming ).
