Romanian police said on Tuesday that if you received an email saying “Attempted cyber attack warning”, it is a fake and warned that despite the end of the holiday season, cybercriminals continue to target Romanian users with phishing attacks.

• Do not, under any circumstances, communicate with them or those mentioned in the documents. To increase the security of accounts, it is necessary to update old passwords and apply two-step authentication where possible,” Romanian police said, according to News.ro.

Authorities say that “even though the holiday season is over, cybercriminals continue to target users in Romania with phishing attacks.”

• “E-mail is the preferred method of distribution, and phishing messages are increasingly written in Romanian, so these fraud attempts are becoming more credible and potential victims can be more easily trapped if they do not follow online data security guidelines. . Always verify the true source of the message.
• Avoid accessing links in such unsolicited messages. Do not provide confidential data upon request after notifications received by e-mail, text or social media,” the Romanian police also said.
