Three main fraudulent schemes have been identified. They are used by fraudsters to remotely steal data. This was announced by Nikita Chugunov, Senior Vice President of VTB.
In addition to social engineering methods, fraudsters actively use remote access programs to extract personal data and funds from clients. Effective tools to protect against such scenarios include installing antivirus protection on your smartphone, connecting a caller ID, and checking unfamiliar and suspicious links for security.
The first scheme is a call from "employees" of Gosuslugi. In this way, fraudsters steal personal data by offering to install special programs on the victim's smartphone. They then gain access to the portal and banking applications.
Fraudsters also love to pretend to be buyers from "Avito". They convince the seller to turn on the video to demonstrate the product, then send a phishing link and ask them to make the transition.
As a result, a black screen pops up on the victim's smartphone, and the device itself is blocked. Then an SMS arrives to enter the service and the content with the secret code is displayed on the display. This data is also used to hack into the account on Gosuslugi.
The third scheme is a call from Mosenergo. Fake employees ask you to install an application to check water and electricity meters in the apartment. Then follows the standard fraud algorithm.
