Experts from the company F6 have highlighted key errors that often lead to financial losses for residents of Russia.
According to F6, primary mistakes include clicking on links sent by unknown contacts via chats or SMS, installing files from unofficial sources, and removing bank applications from a phone upon someone`s request.
A notable threat identified for 2025 involves NFC technology. Scammers are tricking users into installing malicious applications designed to intercept NFC data during contactless payments and steal bank card information. The SuperCard virus is mentioned as an example of this type of malware.
To enhance security, it is advised to review applications that have NFC access and disable it for those that do not require it for legitimate functions. Furthermore, users should avoid granting apps device administration permissions.
Reports indicated that the SuperCard virus, which is based on the legitimate NFCGate app, began targeting Russian users in June.
