Russian law enforcement agencies have uncovered a scheme for illegal access to personal accounts on the Gosuslugi portal. According to investigators, a 33-year-old MFC employee from Kabardino-Balkaria provided paid services for restoring account access online. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
The perpetrator obtained passport data, SNILS, and phone numbers of third parties from clients, granting access to foreign accounts for just 300 rubles. Using this scheme, a Yekaterinburg resident registered a digital bank card in the name of a person from Surgut and sold it.
Fraudsters attempted to take out an online loan of 70,000 rubles in the victim's name, but the attempt failed because the victim had a pre-set ban on taking out loans.
During police searches, about 20 mobile phones, bank cards, and other material evidence important for the investigation were seized. A criminal case has been initiated for illegal access to computer data and attempted theft.
One of the suspects has been arrested, while the other remains at liberty under a written undertaking not to leave the area. Investigative actions are ongoing.
