Ranking warns the users of the "State Service" portal about the presence of several fraudulent schemes that were created by intruders for theft of confidential information.
The agency's statement said next to: "In early February 2021, the specialists of our Center for Digital Expertise revealed a serious fraudulent scheme, which is now implemented against all users of the" State Service "portal. When implementing the scheme, the attackers use various methods of social engineering, send a huge number of letters. Moreover, emails with malicious attachments and fake texts can come to the same users several times. "
The main goal of sending emails is the urge of the user to go through the letter applied in the letter to the third-party web resource, which is identical to the design of the "State Service" portal. When entering credentials on such a fake site, they will be kidnapped by intruders.
Email-letters sent by fraudsters completely imitate the original email reports of the Gosvunic Portal. In letters there may be various prepositions: obtaining social state payments due to COVID-19, etc., passage of an urgent compulsory survey, a prevention of blocking a record for "public services", etc.
In russia, they say: "The main thing in this case for Russians is to show prudence and not succumb to the tricks of intruders. It is necessary to comply with the simplest digital safety rules - do not press references in emails, even if they look convincingly and do not cause suspicion at first glance, carefully read into the text filed and look for possible psychological tricks that prompted to click on a suspicious link. "
The russia is also recommended to use antiviral programs, when moving to third-party sites, take into account the availability of a security certificate from it - if it is received recently, it is with a high probability of a fraudulent web resource.
