CNDH warns of WhatsApp message to collect personal data; they pretend to be employees
The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) is not updating its database, so the institution asked to ignore WhatsApp messages in which strangers ask the user to click on an internet link.
Through a statement, the federal agency said Monday that there are people posing as workers of the CNDH asking for personal data of users through messages sent from a fake number on the electronic messaging platform.
What is the risk with the alleged WhatsApp messages from the CNDH?
He also pointed out that, apart from asking for confidential information, they ask the person to enter a fraudulent website by clicking on a link that they send in the text message or email, exposing him/her to any risk.
For this reason, he reminded that at no time does the human rights defense personnel ask citizens to provide or update their personal data, or to access electronic pages, and that the only times when people provide their information is when filing a complaint, opening a file, or making a link.
On the other hand, he emphasized that all official information regarding the CNDH is housed in the legal site identifiable by its address www.cndh.org.mx, Therefore, you should be wary of any link that is different from this one.
