On 23 May 2025, Fedecámaras Radio published on Mesa de Análisis an interview with Rafael Núñez Aponte, national director of cybersecurity at CAVECOM-E. The subject is not a single incident: it is the persistence of digital fraud in Venezuela despite awareness campaigns.
Núñez describes how criminals impersonate banks in calls that ask for PIN, OTP or authentication codes; how phishing disguises itself as offers on social networks; and how ransomware exploits unpatched equipment. The vector is not only email: it is haste, trust and identity usurpation.
The measures he proposes are actionable: multifactor authentication, verifying through a different channel before handing over a code, keeping devices up to date and training older people specifically. The interview serves companies and citizens because it translates risk into everyday decisions.
Cybercriminals take advantage of conjunctural moments to increase their attacks, mainly through social-engineering vectors and identity usurpation.
