Even in space they will find: the astronaut spoke about his experience of communicating with scammers
Fraudsters disguised as bank security officers got to the cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky. He spoke about this during the international online training on cybersecurity Cyber Polygon 2021, reports RIA Novosti.
The attackers introduced themselves as bank employees and told the astronaut that his money was in danger. However, Novitsky immediately saw through the deception.
“Probably not very skillfully, since it was very obvious that scammers were getting in touch. Therefore, in this regard, we did not suffer, ”the cosmonaut noted.
Earlier, a pensioner from Chelyabinsk received a call from telephone scammers. However, she did not allow herself to be deceived and forced the swindlers themselves to transfer 500 rubles to her.
