On the eve of the World Cup in football in the network dramatically increased the activity of hackers. Experts warned that fraudsters plan to hold mass cyberattacks during the championship. What is the danger of hacker attacks, including those aimed at foreign fans, the "360" TV channel tried to understand with the help of experts on Internet security. According to the CEO, Zecurion Alexei Rayevsky, for fraudulent activities hackers, as a rule, use the human factor.

In particular, they try in any way to entice the victim of a login or password, to force a person to install malicious software on the phone or computer. "The user himself clicks on the link and runs a file, goes to the site is not clear which one and leaves there their personal data or credit card numbers. Usually in these cases, it's impossible to show anything to anyone, because the person was deceived himself, "Raevsky said.. He also stressed that not only fans, but also residents of cities, where the matches will be affected, can suffer from the actions of hackers. The increase in the number of fraudulent operations was also warned by the head of the team of analysts of Brand Protection Group-IB Ilya Rozhnov. "We already see a lot of fake shares, where they offer tickets or offer tickets at hand, unofficial some tickets at inflated tariffs," he said.. According to him, such fraudulent schemes are often promoted in social networks and through advertising. The user is asked to pay a small fee for allegedly bought tickets, and in the end do not give them at all. Also, Rozhnov warned that to obtain customer data, scammers create copies of banks' websites, and also can discredit such an important document for fans as a "fan's passport". Thus, the passage between the sports facilities and the entrance to the stadium will be blocked. Aleksey Raevsky is sure that "it is quite normal" when the attention of the whole world is attracted by such events as the Olympics or the World Cup. "It attracts not only tens of millions of spectators, but also scammers," he said..

The fraudulent ticket sales sites at the World Championships will be fought by the Center for Monitoring and Responding to Computer Attacks in the Credit and Financial Sphere (FinCERT) of the Bank of Russia. "The Bank of Russia and the International Football Federation (FIFA) have agreed on cooperation, during which FIFA will send information to Fincher Bank of Russia on fraudulent ticket sale sites for the World Cup. FINCert will initiate their blocking The only online resource that has the right to sell tickets to the World Cup - 2018, is the official website of FIFA. All other proposals for sale are fraudulent, "- said in the message of the regulator.
