The picture below is the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website ( mogov[.]tw ) discovered today.

" in front of the gov. Please identify " .gov " on the government website

The homepage of this website states:

The official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare

Next, let's take a look at the official website of the real Ministry of Health and Welfare. It seems to have a lot of information on the whole. Compared with the fake website, the real Ministry of Health and Welfare does not have a clear sense of appeal. It asks the public to "apply as soon as possible", but to pass on knowledge and help everyone. Go to the area you need

How to distinguish the real and fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website

1. Focus News

In the real official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the news is really brought to relevant articles, while the fake official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare also has key news on the front page.

But clicking on the news is asking me to do " mobile phone verification "

Generally speaking, only subscribed news websites need to log in before watching news, but this is the website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is impossible for people to subscribe to pay for government training! So the headline news here is just a cover

The richness of the website

As mentioned above, the real homepage of the official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare contains a lot of information. After all, the Ministry of Health and Welfare does not only help you with a single project, so on the real homepage you can see that there are "Severe Special Infectious Pneumonia Special Area", "1966 Long “Childcare Allowance and Nursery Quasi-Public Zone” and “Social Safety Net”.

In addition to the four special areas, the official website also has various portals on the homepage to help you easily query services, laws and regulations, etc.

But the homepage of the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website is dealing with bailout subsidies except for the key news below.

3. Disclosing information on immediate relief assistance

The fake official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare kept jumping on the webpage, accumulating the number of people assisted, the number of online applicants , and even listing the phone number to tell everyone that the owner of this number successfully applied for a 10,000 yuan marquee .

This is a common method of fraud. This method is used to make people think that there are really many people applying on this website, and they all successfully get the money. Think about it, although this phone number has 4 digits missing, it still involves privacy . usually do not see such a picture on the official website of the government

4. There are often typos and simplified characters in the text

There are some typos in the bailout instructions on the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website. Have you noticed it?

Using consultation , online processing instead of consultation, online processing

5. Official website contact information

The official website of the real Ministry of Health and Welfare provides the address , telephone and fax numbers of the Ministry of Health and Welfare

However, the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare only provided an address and no contact number. This is to avoid being suspected by the public. However, if the real Ministry of Health and Welfare is left, the public will find out that it is a fake when they call and ask. don't leave the phone

What happens when you enter the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website

No matter where you click on the official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, he will take you to the phone for verification first. After the editor entered the phone number (do not imitate the test behavior), I didn't receive the verification code at all. I just typed five digits and passed it....

Then you will be asked to fill in the identification information

Even handing in the ID photo , the photo I uploaded here isn't even ID, but it still got me through. This is very unreasonable. Generally, when uploading an ID card, a special camera is used to ask you to align the frame line, and sometimes the system will first identify whether there is alignment and whether there is any reflection after you finish shooting.

But the official website of the Ministry of Health and Welfare only needs to be uploaded by you, even if it is an ID card, he will not check it.

PLEASE NOTE: If you truthfully hand over your details in the previous step as well as this step, you may be at risk of identity theft

Finally, the ultimate purpose of the fake Ministry of Health and Welfare official website: defrauding credit card/debit card information

It is normal to provide the government's own account for collection, but if the other party asks for " card information " or " online banking information ", you have to be careful!

Just after I selected the bank, he directly forced me to choose "Internet Banking User", and asked me to provide the user ID and user password , which is the login account and password of the Internet Banking, and asked me to provide my mobile phone number again.

Did you notice the warning message at the bottom?

The system will issue SMS verification codes through random banks, Youyou, Jiekou, etc. Please enter the SMS verification code received by your mobile phone, please do not time out or interrupt submission, otherwise the account will be warned

caution! ! It's not that the Ministry of Health and Welfare is verifying your mobile phone , but the fraudulent group will use the user ID and password you provided to try to log in to your online banking, or use your online banking to bind other transaction software, so the banking system will send a text message The verification code is given to you, confirming that this is my operation

Just in case you actually hand in the SMS verification code to this site, you are authorizing this fake Ministry of Health and Welfare to use your bank account , and in the next second you may find out how your money started disappearing….
