Cyber Police Recommendations on How Not to Become a Victim of Phishing Scams
During the martial law, fraudsters increasingly use phishing sites that disguise themselves as resources for registration of social benefits from the state, foundations, and international organizations.
It is important that any difference in the URL (extra characters, incorrect spelling) may indicate a phishing site. Users should always pay attention to the address of the required site, as well as not to follow suspicious hyperlinks and not enter confidential data.
For online shopping, we recommend using trusted sites, and obtaining information on social benefits only from official pages of government bodies.
Cyberpolice emphasize that schemes using phishing can be used by attackers on ad platforms. Therefore, when buying and selling goods, discuss the details of the transaction only in the chat of this platform and do not go to third-party messengers.
