Cyberpolice warns of a new wave of phishing: how to protect your money.

Increase in phishing messages in Ukraine

According to inkorr.com: The Ukrainian cyber police has recorded an increase in the number of phishing messages where fraudsters disguise themselves as bank representatives and promise monetary rewards for participating in short surveys. According to information, the spread of deception schemes occurs through letters offering money for participation in fake surveys on behalf of banks.

The fraud scheme involves conducting a 'survey' on a counterfeit bank website, where victims are required to authorize and enter their personal data. After the survey is completed, fraudsters promise to send funds within a few hours.

The cyber police have urged citizens to remain vigilant, refrain from clicking on links in unknown messages, and verify the authenticity of websites before entering confidential data. If you become a victim of fraud, it is recommended to immediately notify the bank and contact the cyber police via the official portal.

Phishing leaves a serious mark on the lives of every internet user, so it is important to exercise caution when interacting with email. In particular, always check URLs and avoid entering your personal information on unfamiliar platforms, which can help prevent trouble.

For all these reasons, following elementary online safety rules can significantly reduce the risks of fraud and protect your money and confidentiality.
