A new type of fraud in Russia - "phishing" QR codes
In this post I will tell you about the progressive fraud, which today is actively developing in Russia and received the name - "phishing» QR codes. Be sure to read on, too, in order to rise to the bait scammers.
In this post I want to warn the Russian-speaking community about the new
phishing trends, moving by leaps and bounds in Europe.
Currently covered Germany. I think the pace very quickly get to Russia and the CIS.
The idea is that the QR-code on a poster at the airport, advertising brochures have
such as a doctor or an information sticker hanging in the bank,
carefully sealed with another, which leads to a malicious page, respectively, Fisher.
Sometimes he even cut and pasted the new, such as the inside of the bank,
on the poster behind the glass on the exterior wall or door.
Outside this plywood hardly visible under glass
and there is no doubt that the QR-code belongs to the bank.
In such a trick even come across people who are serious about the security of their data,
such as checking the URL in the browser to the PayPal payment, etc.
This is due to the high level of confidence in the data, such as hanging inside a large bank.
Of my friends already have two cases:
- One taken away and changed all the passwords stored in your phone's browser,
after visiting the site advertises the film, with the QR-code filmed at Frankfurt airport.
On arrival in Hamburg could not go anywhere;
- A friend of my second serious Zack covered.
He saw in the bank "sale" of a new version with a discount
StarMoney (popular in the German banking program aka Home Banking), decided to buy it on the phone - QR with posters, etc.
Result - gone PayPal password, and a certain amount of cash, debt PayPal-meters from the account.
By the way, it could end up much worse for him - StarMoney rasprostronyaetsya download-om.
Ie he might even send a URL on the left Trojan StarMoney -
Then would come the white fur in general all its accounts.
So be careful and be sure to tell your members of the household!
