Internet fraud attempts with e-mails containing links to gov.si

The article reports on a cybersecurity warning issued by Slovenia's State Office for Information Security regarding attempts at online fraud targeting users of the government portal gov.si. Cybercriminals are sending deceptive emails that appear legitimate due to their references to the government portal, claiming they are offering 'security updates' or 'mail suspension'. These messages impersonate technical or security support teams and urge recipients to click on links to perform fake security updates, threatening account deactivation if ignored. The article emphasizes that government agencies never request password entry or other credentials via external links, and that the gov.si portal does not send such update requests through unofficial websites. It advises users to verify the authenticity of links before clicking and to delete suspicious messages without opening attachments or links. Users who have already clicked and entered personal information are advised to change passwords immediately and notify the relevant IT service provider.
