Stolen court records assist in bank and account code thefts
Cybercriminals Leverage Judicial Data for Bank Account and Gosuslugi Portal Fraud
Criminals have devised a new strategy to pilfer data crucial for accessing bank accounts and the Gosuslugi portal, according to Sibdepo's report. The scheme hinges on information obtained from official court websites, where they post details of administrative and criminal cases—names, initials, organizational titles, claims, and conflicts.
These details enable scammers to devise convincing narratives, imitating judicial procedures. They then reach out to victims, requesting the confirmation of SMS codes under false pretenses such as "case re-qualification," "hearing rescheduling," and other judicial proceedings. Victims, engrossed in the subject matter and acquainted with the details, unwittingly fall for the ruse, handing over the codes to the fraudsters.
The police urge citizens: under no circumstances should you disclose received SMS codes over the phone to avoid becoming a scam victim.
