During the recent time, citizens’ mobile phones have been receiving fake messages with the previous logo of Azerpost LLC.
The messages, which were sent to citizens on behalf of Azerpost LLC, included the following text: "Congratulations! You are one of the 10 chosen users who have got the chance to win iPhone X or Gift Card!"
The citizens who want to get iPhone X or Gift Card are requested to provide their bank card number and to pay a tax for the gift before receiving it.
After the citizen complies with the request, the malefactor accesses his bank card and steals all the money from it.
In view of this fact, Azerpost LLC of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies and the Electronic Security Service have launched an investigation into the problem.
The Electronic Security Service warns citizens who receive such messages that if the web browser redirects them to the website "www.yetill.com", this means that their mobile device or computer has been infected with adware.
If that's the case, the phone will receive unwanted "pop-up" ads from the website "www.yetill.com" and download malicious apps.
Apart from that, while the citizen is being redirected to the website "www.yetill.com", an advertising banner with the words "If you are 18 +, click here" pops up, asking him to subscribe for notifications on the website.
If the citizen clicks on "Allow" button, he will start seeing fake "pop-up" ads on the screen of his mobile device or computer.
www.yetill.com gets information, including IP address, web browser version, user's country, etc. from the user’s web browser.
The goal is to deceive users by promising large amounts of money or valuable prizes.
How to solve the problem:
- Using the Windows Control Panel, delete recently downloaded malicious programs from your computer.
- Delete extensions from www.yetill.com in the "Settings" section of Chrome or other browser. If you don’t know which of the extensions in your browser is harmful, delete all extensions.
- Scan you mobile phone or computer with reliable (licensed) antivirus software and delete all detected viruses.
