Hackers who hunt for confidential data of Russians most often disguise their phishing resources as the login interface to a VK, Telegram, or WhatsApp account. This was stated by MegaFon.
In addition, they imitate Gosuslugi or bank websites. According to the operator, in January 2024, most phishing sites were located in the .ru, .shop, .com, and .top zones. During this month, the company, connected to the state system "Anti-Phishing", identified almost 7 thousand suspicious resources.
In total, in 2023, "Anti-Phishing" discovered over 342 thousand phishing resources. With its help, over 122 thousand fraudulent sites were blocked.
Companies connected to "Anti-Phishing" transmit data to its operator — the Research Institute "Integral". After verification, specialists send information about hacker resources to Roskomnadzor and the Prosecutor General's Office for their subsequent blocking.
Earlier, www1.ru wrote that hackers gained access to 5 TB of personal data of Russians during the winter holidays. This information was leaked to the Web.
