Attention! Fake messages are sent on behalf of Azerbaijani banks

The Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies has recorded that fake messages are being sent by Armenia via e-mails on behalf of Azerbaijani banks. The messages say that they are sent through proxy servers because the main servers were allegedly attacked by Armenian hackers. The messages also state that the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Central Bank are urging citizens to withdraw their funds from bank accounts in connection with alleged cyber attacks.
 
The Electronic Security Service informs citizens that this information does not correspond to reality and is provocative. The enemy’s purpose is to create fear and anxiety among the population by spreading misinformation.
 
Citizens are once again asked not to respond to messages and calls from strangers and to check the accuracy of information from official sources in advance.
 
Also, when faced with cyber incidents or need to obtain methodological support, you can contact the Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies via the website www.cert.az   or e-mail reports@cert.az. Please save screen images (screenshots) and other electronic evidence of cyber incidents that have occurred and send them to us.
