Scammers have started stealing funds from Russians through bots that mimic banking services. This was stated by Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications. According to him, such schemes are becoming increasingly common and effective.
The deputy said that scammers create bots that look like official bank services. Users are lured there through advertising or personal messages. People, seeing a familiar logo and clear prompts, instinctively enter their logins and passwords, and sometimes codes from SMS. After that, access to the personal account passes to the attackers, who instantly make transfers or issue card reissues.
The bots first collect credentials, then the attackers use them to access bank accounts. Sometimes scammers slip fake confirmation pages to the victim, forcing them to enter codes that give full control over the account.
Advertising for such bots is actively running not only in thematic Telegram channels and chats, but also through targeting in social networks banned in our country.
To avoid falling into the trap, Nemkin recommended never entering personal data in third-party bots and through links from advertising. It is better to access the bank through the official application or saved bookmarks, enable two-factor authentication and check the addresses of the bots.
