Kaspersky Lab said that fraudsters have been sending emails to Russian residents, claiming that they are writing on behalf of regulators about the upcoming "Russian national cryptocurrency." In addition, Kaspersky Lab also said: "Through such messages, attackers lure users to resources where they may lose money." It is reported that by the end of February, thousands of such letters had been sent.
The fraudulent emails claimed that Russia was preparing to introduce a state-issued cryptocurrency and encouraged recipients to click on a link to a website that offered an investment plan for the coin. The website also featured a project allegedly developed by Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, the most popular messaging tool in the crypto community.
The platform offers visitors a false opportunity to invest in the project and earn more in the future. In reality, the victim's deposit goes to the fraudsters. Investors will receive nothing in return and risk leaking confidential information shared with the site. #DOGE, #NFT, #BNB
