This is a type of fraud on the Internet, the purpose of which is to obtain user personal data (such as ID, password, login, access keys, etc.).
Imagine what you would do yourself, having received a letter from the bank where you serve (for example, you have a plastic card) asking you to confirm your data. I'm sure you would just follow the instructions given by the bank.
Carding is a more risky type of fraud. The goal is to get exactly the user's payment data for his personal plastic or virtual card. After that, a complete analogue is created on white plastic.
With such a card, the carder simply withdraws your money at any ATM or pay with it on the Internet. Of course, the carder himself will not risk withdrawing your capital, volunteers are used for this. Trust me, there are enough people like that.
If you are one of those daredevils who are not afraid to withdraw $ 10,000 at once in order to get $ 1,500, then go ahead.
Why do users voluntarily part with their identification information? And this is how it happens: a message from a bank or an administrator of the same WebMoney arrives in the mail to the victim.
Such a letter says that such a situation happened as a result of which your data was lost. And to restore them, you just need to go to the site, enter your username and password and carry out any operations. Made? That's all, got caught!
The thing is that, instead of a real bank address, the scammers send a link to an exact copy of it. And even with a similar domain name. Only instead of the letter i - j, instead of o - 0, etc. It is practically impossible to distinguish such a setup if you have not prepared in advance.
Immediately after your authorization on a phishing site, its admins will receive all the information you entered. Including username and password. And then they will go to do with your account whatever their heart desires. At least sponsor international terrorism. ?
Be especially vigilant when receiving such emails. A real bank is unlikely to be engaged in this kind of mailing, tk. the image of the bank directly depends on this.
I know of more than one case of theft of money from some accounts of Internet users. What did the bank do? But nothing! He did not inform the "victims" about the incident at all. I just paid off the debt behind my back and that's it! A very narrow circle of bank specialists became aware of this case, the name of which, for obvious reasons, I will not name.
I'm sure you've seen messages on various message boards and forums in which people shared information about supposedly "magic wallets." They offered to send money there and the type will return more. These are just such promotions.
Deceiving users even on the Internet is a criminal offense under the article fraud. This means that illegal activities on the Internet are punishable by law. At least that's how it should be. However, Internet crimes are very difficult to investigate, fraudsters often cannot be found and they go unpunished. In any case, most of the attempts of our domestic militia (police) to combat cyber crime are in vain.
Let the quality of the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for caber security and the fight against cyber crime remain on their conscience. Hackers are certainly happy with the level of preparedness of our law enforcement officers. However, this situation promises to end soon.
The cyber security departments started hiring guys with, let's say, not quite a "clean past." Of course, they have no previous convictions, but in their “past life” they were engaged in not very good things.
As far as I know for certain, various contests are held among the newly minted "policemen". It helps them that they know most of the methods of Internet fraud from the inside. themselves have recently been among them.
And today they are scouring the web in search of ... Of course, they are not going to put their friends behind bars, but the fate of everyone else ...
IMHO: And the fact that they now do not break, but protect is a completely natural process of the computer industry development.
