MOSCOW, July 28. Fraudsters are capable of creating a copy of a website that is indistinguishable from the original, said Vasily Shutov, a lecturer at the KB-1 Information Security Department of the Russian Technical University MIREA, in an interview with RT.
«As a rule, they fake pages on social networks, on «Gosuslugi» «, in personal accounts of banks, well-known online stores. When entering a login, password, number and CVV of a bank card on such a site, the data falls into the hands of fraudsters, which threatens to quickly empty the user's account,» he said.
Shutov advised to always check the address bar, comparing it with the original, and pay attention to the lock icon to avoid data falling into the hands of scammers.
Scammers also often use the domains .xyz, .top and . club., the expert warned.
He advised not to follow suspicious links and to add necessary sites immediately to bookmarks to eliminate the possibility of stumbling upon a fake.
