In the face of an upsurge in attempts to steal personal data, Social Security recently advised its policyholders to pay closer attention when they receive calls or suspicious e-mails that appear to come from the Health Insurance. Pirates in fact impersonate the organization and ask users to provide them with confidential information.
L'Assurance Maladie published Monday, November 19 on its website Ameli an alert warning policyholders against an attempt to recover personal data. Via phone calls or e-mails, cyber-haters posing as Social Security request contact details or other data under cover of a renewal of Vitale card.
It is important not to follow up on these requests. This is because of "vishing" operations for phone calls, or "phishing" for e-mails. These e-mails are particularly misleading since their heading includes the words "public service", the visual elements of the institutional site and the logo of Marianne on blue, white and red, details FranceInfo .
No red in the mails of the Secu
In the explanatory text there is a link that people are supposed to click on. Then open a form that hackers have developed to gather as much information about people trapped.
In its warning text, Health Insurance recalls simple rules for spotting false messages. Social Security does not request or request personal data online from its policyholders. The color red is never used in his communications. As for calls, only those coming from 3646 or 05 53 35 62 37 actually come from the organization. Others must be considered fraudulent.
