Hundreds of fake government websites target users in Central Asia

Hundreds of fraudulent government websites targeting Central Asian users are harvesting contact details for follow-up scams via phone and email. The stolen information is leveraged to extract money, personal data, or device access from victims. This phishing infrastructure represents a coordinated social engineering campaign in the region.

Why it matters: Central Asian users and organizations with staff or operations in the region face targeted credential and financial theft through websites impersonating government portals; security teams should alert users to verify website authenticity before entering contact information.
