Under the pretext of "authorization errors," "replacing the intercom," or "checking counters," attackers force people to call them back.
As a result, unsuspecting citizens create conditions for cybercriminals to use social engineering tools.
We recommend it:
- be vigilant and critical of unknown
incoming messages and calls;
- call back only to the official numbers listed on
the organizations' websites;
- use two-factor authentication;
- do not disclose bank card information, one-time SMS codes, or
any other confidential information to third parties.
Stay vigilant and observe cybersecurity.
