Scammers are sending SMS on behalf of Ukrposhta: how to avoid data theft

Ukrainian scammers have decided to make it easier for themselves to access citizens' personal data - now they are trying to present themselves as honest representatives of Ukrposhta, but in fact, they are spreading phishing sites. In this way, they try to obtain confidential information for their malicious purposes.

This new threat has been exposed by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation on Telegram.

What everyone should know

Experts emphasize that scammers send messages asking for a delivery address, while adding links to fake websites.

'If you click on the link and enter your personal information - it may fall into the hands of criminals.'

Ukrainians are advised to be cautious and not to click on links in suspicious messages.

How to recognize fraud

To avoid the scam, pay attention to the correctness of the sender's address. The official website of Ukrposhta has the domain ukrposhta.ua, so stay vigilant while checking.

'If you see the name 'Post of Ukraine' in a message from unknown numbers or any additional symbols in the link - this is suspicious.'

Ukrposhta employees confirmed that these SMS have no relation to the company and urge citizens to be careful.

This is yet another signal for everyone about the importance of vigilance when receiving such messages that may undermine the security of your data.

Ukrainian scammers have started a new attempt to steal personal data by posing as Ukrposhta. The sharp warning from experts about the fraud and tips on recognizing fake messages aim to help citizens protect their information.
