Attention! Fake messages are sent on behalf of Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies

Having suffered defeat on the front, the Armenian side continues unsuccessful acts of provocation in cyberspace.Thus, this time the enemy is sending out phishing emails on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies. In these messages, users are required to follow the specified link and register and verify their e-mails within 48 hours. At the same time, the addressees are informed that otherwise they will not be able to use their e-mails. In order to increase the reliability of the fake messages, the text includes the flag and coat of arms of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the logo, the address of the ministry and the name of the official. The goal of attackers is to collect relevant information, convince users to click on malicious links, and thus gain access to the equipment and network used by them.
 
The Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies states that this information does not correspond to reality and is provocative. It should be noted that many users access their e-mails using a VPN Internet connection which poses a very serious risk to them and the networks of the organizations they represent.
 
We ask users during this period to be extremely careful not to trust such information and not to act immediately. Also, before clicking on the links and providing personal information, you should check the sender’s address and the accuracy of information from official sources using various communication tools. We reiterate that the information in this format is a phishing attempt.
 
Also, when you faced such a situation, please contact the Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies by calling hotlines 1654 and 1655, via the website www.cert.az  or e-mail reports@cert.az.
