One-time payment to those born between 1950 and 1991 in 2017

According to the latest data, information is being distributed online by the creators of harmful programs. When a person clicks on a link, they infect their device with a virus. The program is capable of reading logins and passwords, after which it withdraws funds from the accounts to which the computer or phone is attached.

For the first time, information about the occurrence of possible payments appeared after bonuses for pensioners in the amount of 5 thousand rubles in January last year.
