Doubtful popularity: fake “Rossgram” has already been installed more than 100 thousand times

Fraudsters have already taken advantage of the popularity of the project. A fraudulent application appeared on Google Play, masquerading as the Rossgram mobile application. It was noticed in the Jet Infosystems laboratory of practical security analysis. Experts note:

When using the application, some users are shown a stub with information that the social network will be launched soon, others are given a message that they have won a large amount of money.

After that, “technical support specialists” ask the user to enter bank card details, which are sent to the attackers’ server. In addition to stealing bank cards, the application can potentially perform other malicious activities.

The official launch of Rossgram is expected in April.
