TL;DR
- 43% of Colombian users share passwords, and 86% leave sessions open on their mobile devices.
- The concentration of banking apps, emails, and personal documents on smartphones increases the risk of fraud and identity theft.
- Cybercriminals increasingly use social engineering, enhanced by AI, to manipulate users into compromising their security.
