In the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, they warn: to include a screen demonstration during communication in messengers can be very dangerous. This was reported in the Office for Combating Crimes in the field of information technology.
Attackers are often associated with people, introducing themselves to the authorities or employees of various services. They ask to help register on a well -known site and offer to show the process through a screen demonstration.
So scammers in real time get access to personal data, and can also see confirmation codes that come to the phone. This allows them to quickly hack accounts, for example, on the portal “State Services”.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is advised not to include this function, even if a person seems familiar. It is better to abandon such requests and be careful with personal information on the Internet.
