Special Communication and Information Security State Service has issued a statement on phishing attacks to www.apa.az website belonging to APA Agency.

The statement reads: “Attention! Swindlers creating a fake sample of various media resources (APA, Trend, etc.) have started different campaigns over those websites, as well as, using SOCAR’s name, began to advertise tempting phishing attacks on social media in the name of registration for various investment projects. We urge everyone to be careful against such shares published for the purpose of fraud and to jointly strengthen our cyber hygiene by informing about such links through the domain https://blacklist.gov.az".

Note that the website www.apa.az belonging to APA Agency was phished a while ago.

Information, that was never broadcasted on APA and provocative against SOCAR, has been placed on the page.

APA Media Group urges readers to be careful and not to believe false information.

The company notes once again that APA's official web address is www.apa.az domain.
