Fraudsters come up with a simple way to withdraw all the money from the cards of Russians

The technology allows you to make outgoing any number, up to short emergency numbers

In order to make citizens more willing to report information on their means of payment, fraudsters invented another trick. Already, the damage from the new scheme exceeds 30 million rubles, and the account of the victims went to thousands.

At the heart of the new fraudulent scheme is a virtual telephone exchange, which attackers buy from a mobile operator, they say "News" with reference to banking security professionals. A cloud-based PBX is issued on a one-time SIM card, after which, through the web interface, the station number is changed to the actual number of a particular bank. Already from this number, the calls to potential victims of the “wiring” begin, at the entrance of which scammers “work” according to a well-established scheme.

“Citizens give their card number, one-time passwords and access codes necessary for conducting card transactions when they are called from a bank number,” the publication quotes the head of the Zecurion analytical center, Vladimir Ulyanov. Despite the fact that in general the financial literacy of the population is growing, a call from a well-known bank number lulls vigilance and makes people forget basic safety rules.

Virtual PBX technology allows you to set absolutely any numbers as outgoing, up to short emergency numbers. Experts note: according to statistics, the main category of victims are older citizens. Approximately half of the citizens who receive such calls fall into the trap of scammers. In order not to become a victim, you must always follow basic safety rules: in no case do not inform the interlocutor of PIN, CVV and one-time access passwords received via SMS. When remotely servicing this information, bank employees do not need it.
