The Ministry of Internal Affairs warned of a phishing resource luring access code from "Gosuslugi"

Fraudsters have started to use phishing resource, through which they lure students with the access code from the account on "Gosusluga". This was reported on February 12 in the press service of the Department for the organization of the fight against the illegal use of information and communication technologies (UBK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

"A resource has been detected, using which fraudsters under the pretext of "State Unified Student Evaluation System", lure out the access code from the account on the portal "Gosuslugi". The links look legitimate: gesos.rus or gesos.ru, but lead to a resource with a much less presentable address, " the agency wrote in its Telegram channel.

They added that at the moment students on "Gosuslugi" are available real services for applying for admission to a university or college without a personal visit through an account.

It is possible to order certificates from the educational institution. In addition, through the portal you can register social benefits, as well as register or restore an electronic student card.
