The hacker explained why in Russia cards will become more often blocked


Hacker Alexander Warski told what to expect from Governing Bodies. According to him, bank cards will more often be blocked in Russia.

The information security specialist expressed the opinion of the new law on mandatory notification of blocking of finances on the accounts of Russians. Starting from March 28, according to the new law, credit institutions are obliged to notify customers about the blocking of funds on the same day, necessarily indicating the reason for their actions. According to the hacker, the new law will only contribute to a significant increase in blockages.

"The governing bodies will be more likely to use this tool," - said Warski.
At the moment, the percentage of all illegal withdrawals is 1% of all financial transactions. Scammers use fake phone numbers that are displayed as Bank numbers and disturb people on behalf of the Bank. In this regard, the hacker believes that mobile operators are to blame for allowing the sale of virtual SIM cards.

State Duma Deputy Natalia Poklonskaya believes that the introduction of the new law will make the bank-client relationship system more transparent.

"Now this side of banking will become more open, and blocking the client's account will no longer be unexpected, which means that it will not be able to be a manipulative tool," said Natalia.

Earlier, EhackingNews reported that experts from the information security company Positive Technologies came to the conclusion that hackers will need only five days on average to hack a large Russian Bank.

In addition, it became known that 89% of data leakage incidents in Russian banks were caused by ordinary employees.

Banks also noted the appearance of special Telegram bots, through which people can earn anonymously on the leak of information and personal data. Each case of information disclosure costs 50-100 thousand rubles ($750 - $1,500).

Information security experts have warned Russians about bonus card fraud schemes.

Fraudsters several thousand times tried to illegally take advantage of discount bonuses of Russians in 2019. Some attackers gained access to customers' personal accounts, and then bought the products using bonuses, said Alexey Sizov, head of the anti-fraud department of the Application Security Systems Center at Jet Infosystems. According to him, a fraudster can register a personal account on a card that was issued to another person. The victim will accumulate points without knowing about the existence of his profile, and the attacker will write off bonuses, said Sizov. The expert added that this is mainly done by novice scammers. According to him, loyalty programs are poorly protected, unlike banking operations.
