National Health Insurance Fund warns of large-scale fraud with fake emails

The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) warns of an increasing number of signals from citizens who have received fake e-mails sent on behalf of the institution. Usually, these pirate messages contain a request for user confirmation, which activates a cyber-attack against their device.

NHIF emphasizes that it does not send files related to health insurance status, owed amounts, or other personal information of citizens and contract partners by e-mail. These messages are spam emails, sometimes with attached malware.

The institution calls on people to be vigilant and to alert NHIF, as well as the competent authorities, upon receiving such suspicious e-mails. NHIF categorically states that it does not send emails with such content.
