“This is called a phishing site or phishing page, that is, a page that looks like the real one.

This is part of the educational program, everyone needs to know that if I see a page similar to the Central Bank's website, this is not necessarily the Central Bank's page.

The first is to be vigilant.

The second is to look at the link address ... Then, in about half the case, hackers are lazy, and there will be an open lock on top of it, that is, encryption is not enabled.

Then you need to look at when this site was created: if it is a week old, it is clear that it is not necessary to deal with it, because the next page is already filling out the form, it will be visually indistinguishable, ”the expert noted.

He added that if you are currently performing an action that you were not going to do a minute ago, then you were deceived at the last minute.

“You always have to think:“ Why did I come here now?

How did I know this?

When did I find out? "

It is through such phishing pages that a lot of people still lose all sorts of data, while banking is the worst thing.

The appearance of the scheme will change every week, the scheme itself is as old as the world, ”Masalovich concluded.

Earlier it was reported about a new fraud scheme, when cybercriminals offer Russians to go to a website with the symbols of the Bank of Russia and fill out a form with full information about their bank card in order to receive a "payment", which is supposedly aimed at supporting citizens during the coronavirus epidemic.

The Central Bank stressed that measures are already being taken to block the fraudulent website.
