Kyiv • UNN
Perpetrators are sending out fake electricity bills in the name of the Ministry of Energy to steal banking data. The Ministry does not collect such payments.
A new wave of cyber fraud has been detected online: Ukrainians are receiving mass emails and messenger notifications with fake electricity bills, allegedly sent on behalf of the Ministry of Energy. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the NSDC of Ukraine (CCD), according to UNN.
