Item La brecha digital: Un blanco fácil para la cibercriminalidad(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Lemos Vargas, Anderson; Arcos Troyano, JeffreyThe digital divide is a phenomenon that has gained relevance in recent years due to the accelerated advancement of information and communication technologies (ICT). This gap not only creates economic and social inequalities, but also has serious implications in terms of cybersecurity, exposing the population to risks in its different modalities (malware, phishing, vishing and smishing), which are used by cybercriminals to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge about the digital world. This article aims to analyze how the digital divide becomes an easy target for cybercriminals, so it aims to identify how the lack of digital education exposes people to risks that they do not even know about. In a world where digital transactions, the use of social networks and access to information are essential for everyday life, those who do not have the necessary skills to protect their data become vulnerable targets for cybercrime.
