It is worth mentioning that different specialized search engines were used as data collection methods, ranging from 2018 to 2024. In addition, they went through filtering to obtain the most representative research, delivering. As a result, 30 selected articles. Finally, it is concluded that as more years go by, new trends appear to solve these vulnerabilities in the systems, likewise, due to the difficulty and adverse interests of evil people, these must be constantly updated. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2026."
