The Iranian government was once again subjected to criminal SMS fraud

The Radio and Television Agency has reported that tens of thousands of Iranian citizens have been targeted for financial fraud by text message impersonating Iranian government.

This scam is committed by cyber criminals who first forge hyperlinks alleging to be Sana system, which is used for the Iranian justice registration system via SMS. This text message is likely to contain content designed to intimidate recipients into downloading an application to pay for services. Once the victim has downloaded the app and entered their credit card details to pay for the service, cybercriminals will now have all the details they need to start committing bank fraud against the victim, which is usually between $ 1,000 and $ 2,000 per victim. 💰💰

Fraudulent Sana System Application used by these cyber criminals 

It has been reported that this is most likely the malicious act of independent cybercriminals rather than government actors, but it is clear that the Iranian government's cyber security measures are so weak that they can easily be exploited to defraud the hardworking people of Iran. When will this corrupt regime stop wasting its time and money attacking other countries and instead spend its time and money on improving its own cyber security? It is a shame at this stage, and in the end the innocent people of Iran are suffering.
