Fraudsters began sending out "mobilization" pseudo-summons to Russians by e-mail with malicious attachments

It is reported that the scammers decided to develop a new line of business in our country, using the partial mobilization announced in the Russian Federation. Kaspersky Lab informs about a new type of fraud.

It became known that some Russians began to receive e-mails with messages that, allegedly because of a summons not handed over personally, a man should immediately arrive at the military registration and enlistment office at the place of residence. The letter looks like it was actually sent by some official body - with Russian heraldic symbols, pseudo-departmental "requisites" and a reference to the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "for non-fulfillment of requirements."

At the same time, a document is attached to the letter, which the scammers urge to open, allegedly for a more detailed acquaintance with the instructions. The document is attached in such a way that when clicked, it starts downloading automatically.

When opening a document, not only a pseudo-alert will open, but also a file that is malicious. The file is aimed at stealing personal data from the user's computer or mobile device, tracking the user, and gaining access to files in the mail.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation previously reported that no “electronic summonses” were sent to Russian citizens and were not planned to be sent out. However, not all Russians know about this, which is what scammers use, using the typical effect of surprise and psychological pressure.

Whoever can - he fights with such means. The question is different: do Russian relevant structures send similar letters with files to Ukrainian citizens?

One such divorcer allegedly called me from the prosecutor's office, like a hooligan, but he stuttered at the joke, and I advised him to contact a speech pathologist-impairment specialist, and then maybe I'll talk to him. Although I myself have known for a long time government agencies do not call anyone on the phone, even if they do not stutter.

They send it out, only a short one died and the body is in such and such a morgue or buried there in a "mass" grave ..
Well, who is in captivity, they themselves inform relatives.
And everything else is not our method.

To whom the war, to whom the mother is dear. So the scammers, following the hucksters, reached for the money, what can I say. Impunity breeds permissiveness.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

The state must react strongly and eliminate this problem with the application of amendments to the legislation in force during the NWO regime, for example, as under the laws of war with the application of the higher penalty.

[smart fellow]

Yes, they send them from foreign servers. It is even easier and cheaper for these scammers to work than phone scammers who call from cloud PBXs. There, the truth is partially solved the problem. part of the telephone scammers turned out to be Russian prisoners in the zone.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

In any case, the use of forgery by fraudsters in the distribution of messages from the relevant government services must be stopped, and their accomplices who are with us must be identified and severely punished.

And how do you imagine that? No, in principle it is possible, I think, to calculate the final address of the sender, but for this you need to have access to all intermediate machines. But if the fraudster works through, for example, a Dutch computer, then what will you do with it? Never mind. Is it possible to go to Holland in tanks to start digging into this computer there.

In a commentary to Life, information security (IS) specialists from Group-IB said that “most of the fraudulent calls” are made from prisons in principle.
- Other fraudulent call centers operate "in the wild", sometimes outside of Russia. To neutralize them, international cooperation of various states is necessary, experts add.

It is reported that scammers have decided to master a new line of business in our country

.... One question, scammers, if these scammers are aimed at obtaining material benefits in their activities, what is the benefit here? No? Well, what "enlightened" head came up with the idea to call a banal cyber operation carried out by the special services of hostile countries against Russia and its population - a new type of fraud))))
The level of competence in the information field - 100 bottoms out of 100

[Dilettante grandfather]

You didn't read the article carefully. The goal of scammers is to collect personal information through a malicious file.

[JD1979]

I understood everything correctly))) unlike you. 99% of these "scammers" work from the territory of Ukraine, and unlike us, all such groups are controlled by the SBU. Infa periodically slips, you just need to be able to understand it.

It's a shame, yesterday they only sent me that an intergalactic company that suffered from covid needs me, I set the salary myself. I checked the phone, they called from the planet "Congo".

[Albert Brecht]

I need an intergalactic firm affected by covid,

The personnel of this company all died on the battlefield with the virus?

[Plate]

Of course. They sent representatives to Earth to conclude trade agreements, and here the virus, to which their immunity is not adapted, is blazing in full. That's where the poor fell. We decided to slowly hire the locals until the management piled on them there.

Is there covid on Melmac? I'm just out of curiosity, if anything!

However, we also have about financial pyramids, and in general, about all sorts of "freebies", everyone was warned, and what ??? Nobody pecks, lure!!!
People will be vigilant and think with your head, and not with another place not intended for this.

Well, don't tell me. Here I see an ad: "Freebie!" What to hide, I'm going to look. Is it really a freebie? But when I see something in the style of "Send us 10 rubles", it becomes clear that this is not a freebie. What kind of freebie is this if I pay money, and not me? A freebie is something that is completely free - inside and out.

Is cheese in a mousetrap free?
However, the one who equips the mousetrap bears overhead costs ... something like that.

And then! The main thing is that it was not clear in advance that this is a mousetrap.

[rocket757]

All this is sad, since our people remain at the level of development of "stupid mice".

Well, by the way, our mice successfully pulled food from a mousetrap several times, moreover, without getting caught in them. So not everything is so clear.

Not all ... enough of both!
However, this rule/circumstance is true for EVERYONE!
Just get sick, everyone should, in due time.
