Owners of dacha plots have been warned about possible mass attacks by scammers.

      Scammers are preparing possible mass attacks on owners of country plots in Russia. This was reported by Lenta.ru, citing specialists from the Smart Business Alert (SBA) service.

      According to analysts, a dump of parsed data on roughly 10,000 Russian gardening non-commercial partnerships (SNTs) was discovered online, which amounts to about 9–10% of their total number in the country. Experts believe that collecting this data may be a stage in preparing fraudulent schemes.

      The dump, specialists note, contains information about SNT legal entities: names, addresses, INNs, telephone numbers and email addresses. More than 90 percent of the email addresses are registered with public mail services, which, experts say, increases the risk of account hacking, including by using passwords from previously leaked databases.

      Another threat specialists point to is the use of "abandoned" SNT mailboxes on free services. Such addresses can be re-registered by malicious actors, while they continue to appear in search engines as legitimate. This creates conditions for sending fake notifications, altering payment details and other social engineering scenarios targeting owners of dacha plots.

      SBA service head Sergey Trukhachev noted that winter and spring, especially the period after the New Year holidays, are convenient times for scammers, when many owners visit their dachas and use their plots less often. According to him, this reduces the likelihood of quick verification of information and increases the effectiveness of fraudulent schemes.

      Experts recommend that owners of country real estate take precautions and recheck any financial or organizational information, even if it comes from outwardly official addresses or numbers, using alternative channels of communication.
