Entrepreneurs in Romania are being targeted by a fraud attempt in which cyber attackers send fake calls using the identity of the National Directorate for Cyber Security (DNSC), warn the Directorate's specialists in a post posted on Friday on the institution's Facebook account."DNSC draws attention to a new attempted telephone fraud, in which the attackers pose as employees of the National Directorate of Cyber Security (DNSC), targeting mainly entrepreneurs in Romania. How does the fraud work? Fake phone call: The victim is contacted from a number that appears to be DNSC's, but is falsified through spoofing techniques. Alarming legal pretext: It is claimed that the victim is involved in a money laundering case, for a payment from June 2023, to a fictitious company. Threat of lien: It is claimed that DNSC has imposed a lien on the victim's accounts - a completely false claim. If the victim mentions a bank name, a second call follows, this time from a person posing as a representative of that bank. Purpose: collecting sensitive banking and personal data," the cited source informs.DNSC specialists emphasize that attackers choose their targets from public databases, such as company or NGO websites, using "scraping" techniques to obtain relevant information.In this context, the institution claims that the Directorate does not investigate financial cases or place seizures on accounts, and official institutions do not request bank details over the phone.Users are advised to never disclose personal or bank details following a suspicious phone call and to verify the authenticity of calls through official channels, for example by ending the call and directly contacting the displayed phone number."If you have received such a call, do not continue the conversation, do not provide personal details and immediately report the incident to DNSC, at https://pnrisc.dnsc.ro/," the Directorate notes.
