“Last year, more people came into contact with cybercriminals, with one in ten victims. As a rule, the amount of loss was less than 20 thousand rubles,” notes the Central Bank.
It is clarified that, as a rule, the victims provided the scammers with card details and codes from SMS or transferred money to them themselves.
Approximately a third of victims of fraudulent actions involving the theft of money filed a complaint with their bank.
Previously, network threat expert Konstantin Shulenin advised avoiding the words “yes” and “no” if there is a suspicion that a scammer is talking to you on the phone.
