We have all been exposed to this type of cyberattack: "Complete your account to avoid being blocked", "Your parcel is stuck at customs, please regularise your situation" or "Please complete your details to validate your order"... These messages, followed by a link to a web page that looks exactly like the website of a well-known entity, are just a few examples of the new types of threat that we need to be vigilant about.
Anyone can be fooled. Just a moment of distraction is all it takes for our valuable data to fall into the hands of hackers, who exploit it for criminal purposes. Data theft by SMS or e-mail, as well as fraudulent websites, spyware, and viruses, continues to spread on our smartphones. This phenomenon is worsening as the years go by. According to the UN, hackers attempt a cyber-attack every 39 seconds. In 2023, the number of attacks detected even increased by 150%, according to cybersecurity expert Allot.
To fight against this threat, it is essential to protect yourself with a cybersecurity solution. In Luxembourg, Tango is the only operator to offer a simple mobile solution that protects its customers from malicious websites, e-mails, and SMS messages. Called Net Protect, this protection detects and blocks malicious websites, data theft attempts (phishing), viruses and spyware. The service is automatically reinforced every second with the latest threats.
In 2023, this cutting-edge technology was able to analyse an impressive total of 11 billion online connections for Tango customers. Out of this colossal number, 8.2 million connections were identified as malicious and blocked instantly to protect customers.
Net Protect is not only highly effective, but also very easy to use. Simply activate the service with a single click from the My Tango app or in your Tango shop. Once activated, Net Protect protects you via the Tango mobile network without having to take any action with your smartphone, both in Luxembourg and abroad.
