For the illegal use of the Russian Federation of Information and Communication Technologies of the Ministry of Interior, the office experts warned the Russians to use VPN while working with banking applications, because this may lead to a blocking of the personal account. About it reports Aif.ru.
The Ministry of Interior stressed that banking security systems define the user on the basis of the parameters of the IP address and the unique number of the mobile device. The use of VPN hides this data that makes it difficult to define the customer and may cause suspicion of unauthorized access. In case of abolition, a personal objection will be required to the bank branch.
In addition, UBK employees noted the possible risks of using VPN applications. In some cases, they can analyze their actions to promote the user’s ad content. In the worst scenarios under the guise of VPN Services, malicious software can be introduced.
Experts warn that the use of VPN services can be dangerous for both information security and user banking applications.
