Be careful with letters requesting financial information
Specialists of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine have recorded cases of unidentified persons sending emails from third-party email addresses, allegedly on behalf of the BES.
The emails are received by both business entities and state and local authorities. They contain a request from a genuine BES employee to provide financial information and a warning about blocking the company's accounts.
The pseudo-letterhead also contains employee data and contacts.
At the same time, these emails contain links, archived files, and attachments that, when launched, download malware to the user's computer to collect confidential data.
If you receive such emails, please do not click on the links or download the files in order to protect your devices from malware that can be used by Russian intelligence services to collect information.
At the same time, we would like to inform you that all BES employees use email exclusively with the @esbu.gov.ua domain. All letters are signed with a qualified electronic signature.
Also, the Bureau's specialists can use the electronic document management system for correspondence with the obligatory imposition of a qualified electronic signature of authorized persons.
We also emphasize that the Bureau of Economic Security does not block financial accounts.
In case of receiving such letters, we advise you to contact the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine.
