The head of the Savings Bank also told the president about the problems with mortgages and the development of artificial intelligence.

Earlier, on January 5, it was reported that the Russian Interior Ministry had warned citizens about fraudsters who were trying to obtain biometric data remotely. The department noted that any such appeals should be considered as signs of fraud. In case of an attempt to illegally obtain data, it is recommended to immediately block bank accounts, change passwords from online banking and government services, and submit applications to the police and Roskomnadzor to protect your personal data and prevent possible theft of funds.
