WARNING! Dangerous SMS-mailing!
Submitted by Drew Anthony, Contributor, April 15, 2022
The Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine warns Ukrainians and the world of another type of Internet fraud: SMS-mailing to the phone with a message about charging money.
According to the Center, Ukrainians began to receive messages on the phone with the text and the following link:
«Vam narahovano Groshovadopomoga PB24 6500. Zarahuvatu…».
The Center urges all “not to follow this link under any circumstances! There is a high risk that your phone will be hacked.
So they are warning that we are all careful, especially if you have ordered a one-time cash assistance service in the amount of UAH 6,500 through the “Action” application, expect a notification about the accrual of money in the application of the bank of which you are a client.
The Center stated that the notification about the accrual of money does not contain any links, but only textual information.
We echo the sentiments of the The Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine imploring not just those in Ukraine but all to not follow any questionable links without checking them. It is always best to call the hotline of the institution from which you received the message and verify the authenticity of the notification received.
in fact, according to the President of The Neoliberal Corporation, Renaldo McKenzie, “we have come under cyber attacks here at The Neoliberal Corporation which has been affecting us but we have had to install VPNs and several safe and secure apps and systems to mitigate these threats. We have also had to bring on board a new IT and Cyber Analyst/Director, Mr. Ramon Henry who has officially joined our team here to help guide us with staging off any attacks as we have noticed several breaches. We are also getting ready to partner with Impact and having a secure network and web and computer systems is paramount,” (President of The Neoliberal, Renaldo McKenzie, April 15, 2022).
We recently carried a story regarding “Communication is to make popular what was the monopoly,” by our Senior Writer, who reported in former President Obama’s fight against Disinformation, in light of his experience with the smear campaign those vying for power tried to launch against him saying he was not American as he was born in another country (Indonesia or Africa) in-spite of the records (Birtherism). Mr. Trump had utilized this strategy against Obama and here Putin is also using disinformation campaign, indeed as our President is arguing bin his dissertation: it’s an issue of power: to extend, establish or maintain power through whatever means available to it.
