Krympress reports:

This is especially dangerous, since the successful theft of data opens up access to personal offices at “public services” and banking applications, which is fraught with serious consequences, and warned in the State Duma.

Fraudsters, introducing themselves to the bank’s employees, assure people allegedly in improper installation of the function of self -embodiment for loans — and then convince them to cross the phishing link. This was told by the deputy chief of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Anti -Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Evgeny Lukin.

When a citizen crossing the link, scammers get access to his personal account at “public services” and banking applications.

Next occurs theft for all known algorithms— he said.

The law on the possibility of citizens to establish in its credit history self -background to conclude with them credit organizations and microfinance organizations of consumer loan agreements entered into force on March 1, 2025. As of March 10, more than 5 million Russians set self -backlights on loans. The vast majority of citizens (91%) choose the format of a complete ban on loans.

The new scheme of fraud associated with the function of self -embodiment for loans demonstrates how attackers quickly adapt to changes in the legislation, said Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, the federal coordinator of the Digital Russia party project.

Using the trust of citizens and their ignorance of the nuances of the procedure for installing self -consultation, scammers imitate the official communication style, offering to click on a phishing link. This is especially dangerous, since the successful theft of data opens up access to personal offices at “public services” and banking applications, which is fraught with serious consequences, ”the deputy said.

It is important to emphasize that the popularity of self -embodiment for loans established by more than 5 million Russians creates an attractive goal for attackers.

Citizens who have chosen this tool to protect against rash credit obligations should be taken by additional caution and increase digital literacy. Particular attention should be paid to the safety rules: never crossed by unverified links, even if they are supposedly from bank employees, as well as always check official communication channels— advised Nemkin.

In conditions of growing digital activity and the popularity of online services, it is necessary to strengthen information security at all levels, the deputy emphasized.

It is important to more actively inform citizens about the risks of such schemes and protection methods. Developments remain aimed at automatically detecting phishing links and strengthening authentication at the entrance to the accounts. The joint efforts of the state, business and users can significantly reduce the threat of such fraudulent schemes— he concluded.
