Attackers continue to deceive Russians by sending fake SMS messages about logging into an account on the "Gosuslugi" portal. This was reported by Andrey Biichuk, product director of MTS Defender.
The victim receives a message that visually resembles an automatic notification of suspicious login to the "Gosuslugi" account. The style and content of the message resemble notifications from official sources. The person instinctively wants to find out everything and protect themselves.
The specialist claims that the text may be as follows: "Please note, authorization from a third-party device. Login to the "Gosuslugi" account was made from a new device. If the device is not yours, you did not log in, or you have any questions, please contact the number for additional information." The message also includes a phone number.
The phone number listed in the message is answered by a person who introduces themselves as a support specialist. They report that an attempt to hack your account has been recorded or that third parties have already gained access to it. To prevent further actions by attackers, it is proposed to urgently undergo identity verification.
Usually, the victim is required to provide passport data, SNILS, bank card number, login and password from the portal, as well as confirmation codes from SMS. Biichuk emphasized that during the conversation, they may report that if you refuse immediate verification, the account will be blocked, and the actions of fraudsters cannot be prevented. This allows attackers to convince the victim and gain access to the user's confidential information.
Before the long weekend and Russia Day, fraudster activity is increasing. They resort to fake raffles, false "payments for Russia Day", fake notifications from banks, and calls from fake police officers. The goal is to extort money from gullible people.
