Messages with greeting cards in instant messengers may contain malicious links.
The press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee warns about this in Telegram.
What is the essence of the new fraud scheme?
The Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee warns: postcards in WhatsApp and other messengers can be used by cyber fraudsters.
Fraudsters posing as family members or friends send citizens messages with postcards that also contain phishing links.
The Minsk police clarified that the postcards themselves do not pose any danger, but the links attached to the message may be malicious.
The capital's police also reminded that it is forbidden to install applications from untrusted sources, especially if the download link was sent via messenger.
Tell your family and friends about this, especially the elderly, the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee urged.
