In the state Duma warned about fraud with the update of “State Services” and EMIAS // Nemkin: fraudsters began to offer an update of “State Services” and EMIAS

Fraudsters are presented by employees of state and medical institutions and offer to allegedly install updates for “State Services” or the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS). About it “RIA Novosti” told the Deputy of the state Duma, Federal coordinator of the project “Digital Russia” Anton Nemkin.

According to Mr. Nemkin, to “update” “State Services” and EMIAS scammers send a malicious file. Once installed, attackers gain access to the device’s data and functions. “Public and medical services do not require applications to be installed from a link from a call or message. Applications should be downloaded only from official sources, the source said.

The MP noted that the scheme is designed to trust the victim, who is convinced that a well-known service needs updating. In addition, attackers create a sense of urgency. Anton Nemkin recommended not to follow the links from suspicious messages and tell elderly relatives about the risks.
