V zadnjih dneh je policija v Sloveniji zaznamovala naraščajoče število primerov spletne prevare, medtem ko so občani poročali o velikih izgubi. V času, ko so ljudje vse bolj uporabljali digitalne orodja za finančne operacije, so kriminalci v nasprotje z tem razvil novi način delovanja, ki je povzročil močno zaskrbljenost med občani. Povzetek teh dogodkov kaže, da je skupina neznanih storilcev uspel zmanjšati za 33.600 evrov iz računa enega občana, medtem ko druga oškodovanka je izgubila 12.970 evrov zaradi podobnega scenarija. Oba primeri so bili povezani z uporabo aplikacije MEET in aplikacije HopTo Desk, kar je omogočilo kriminalcu oddaljen dostop do spletne banke.
Zgodba prvega občana se zgodila 27. junija 2026, ko je bil nekdo večkrat poklican in mu poslan elektronski sporočil, v katerem je bil predlog povezave do aplikacije MEET. Ko je občan odprl povezavo, je prejel več sumljivih klicev z različnih telefonskih številk. Zato je takoj blokiral svoj transakcijski račun (TRR) preko klicnega centra. Kljub temu je včeraj ob obisku banke ugotovil, da so mu neznani storilci z računa odtujili 33.600 evrov. Policija je opozarjala, da je ta tip prevare všeč, ker je uporabljal zlorabe povezav do aplikacij, kar je omogočilo kriminalcu dostop do njegovega računa.
Drugi primer je povezan z oškodovanko iz Mozirja, ki je bila prepričana, da ima v podjetju Covertrade (sklad Sončna elektrarna) 9.000 evrov dobička. Ker je gospa v preteklosti vložila denar, klicatelj pa je poznal njene podatke, je verjela. Klicatelj je poznal njene podatke in jo prepričal, da ima dobiček. Nato je gospa namesto da bi se obrnila na banko, namesto tega je na telefon namestila aplikacijo "HopTo Desk". S tem je goljufom omogočila oddaljen dostop do spletne banke, kar je omogočilo kriminalcu, da je v treh transakcijah ukradel 12.970 evrov. Na sumljive prenose so jo opozorili šele iz OTP banke.
Policija je v zadnjih 24 urah prejela 247 klicev občanov, medtem ko je bilo 63 klicev interventnih. Med temi so bili 11 interventnih klicev s področja kriminalitete, 37 s področja prometne varnosti in 13 s področja javnega reda in miru. To kaže na naraščajoče število primerov spletne prevare, ki se pojavljajo v Sloveniji. Policisti opozarjajo, da morajo občani biti pozorni k povezavam do aplikacij, saj lahko te povezave vodi do zlorabe. Tudi uporaba aplikacij kot je "HopTo Desk" lahko povzroči ogromne izgube, če ni uporabnik zaveden, da je podrobno podatke predal kriminalcu.
Občani so zelo zaskrbljeni zaradi teh incidentov, posebej ker so bile izgube velike. Policija opozarja, da je potrebno biti pozoren na neprimerno povezave in neizkušenim uporabnikom predlagati, naj uporabljajo varnejše metode za dostop do bančnih računov. Vendar pa so tudi strokovnjaki iz bančnega sektorja opozarjali, da je potreben večji pristop k izobraževanju občanov o varnostnih ukrepah v digitalni svet. V nadaljevanju bo policija nadaljevala z informacijami in sodelovala z bankami, da bi zmanjšale število takšnih primerov.

LokalecIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 884 days agoThe article reports two new cases of online fraud in Slovenia, where perpetrators defrauded victims from Šmarje pri Jelšah and Mozirje of over 46,000 euros combined.
