“The methods of fraudsters are rapidly evolving, new ways of fraudsters are being thought out qualitatively, how to get data and how to make people part with their money ... However, nothing changes except the technical means of fraudsters. Increasingly, they are resorting to the method of social engineering, we see that they have more and more information, they buy it on the darknet, where all kinds of databases are sold, ”said Lifshitz.
At the same time, he emphasized that the presence of stolen personal data among fraudsters allows attackers to gain confidence in bank customers.
“When representatives of the bank call you and say not only your name, but also your passport data, the number of your loan agreement, the amount that you last paid on the loan, the doubt that the representative of the bank is calling you will disappear. People need to remain vigilant and remember that bank representatives will not call, you need to call the bank yourself, ”the expert added.
Earlier, the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring (Rosfinmonitoring) warned the Russians about the emergence of a new type of telephone fraud.
