Fraudsters have started using a new version of the NGate Trojan virus to deceive Russians. This is reported on December 29 by the department for organizing the fight against the illegal use of information and communication technologies of the Russian Interior Ministry in Telegram-channel.

"The facts of use by attackers of a new version of the banking Trojan NGate, aimed at Russian users are fixed," - stated in the message.

It is reported that the fraudsters call the victim and offer to get a financial benefit. To do this, you need to follow the link of the virus, which is disguised as an application of any bank.

After launching the application, you need to put the card to the back of the phone and enter the PIN-code. At this time, the victim's card data is read.

The Interior Ministry urges to be vigilant and careful.
