Russians warned about mandatory action after changing phone number
Experts have revealed an important step that needs to be taken after changing your phone number.
The recommendations were shared by specialists from the Department for Combating the Illegal Use of Information and Communication Technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Telegram channel.
Experts warned that after changing the SIM card, the old number should be unlinked from “Gosuslugi” and mobile applications, including banking services.
Experts explained that fraudsters buy old SIM cards that are put up for resale.
They can use them to restore access to accounts in a number of online services.
This results in a fairly wide range of information that fraudsters receive. For example, passport data, information about cars and real estate.
You can unlink the number yourself by going to the “Settings and Security” section on the “Gosuslugi” portal.
