It warns residents: it looks like an official website, but if you trust it, you can get hurt

The customs department has issued an alert regarding potential online scams involving impersonation of Lithuanian government services. Authorities have received intelligence indicating that the subdomain `lrmuitine.vintrack.lt` may be being used to fraudulently represent the customs of the Republic of Lithuania. According to the department’s press release, the content displayed on this suspicious domain closely mirrors the appearance of the previous official customs website.

This imitation suggests the domain could be actively utilized for phishing schemes or various social engineering attacks designed to deceive the public. Furthermore, another domain, `ltmuitino.lt`, was also identified as presenting a visual facsimile of the former customs website. The use of these deceptive sites poses a significant risk to the public, as they are designed to trick users into divulging sensitive information.

Cybersecurity experts advise the public to exercise extreme caution when accessing official governmental portals. It is crucial that users verify the authenticity of any website before entering personal or financial data. Authorities recommend that citizens remain vigilant, as such fraudulent websites are continually being established and used by malicious actors.

The department stresses that official communications and services should only be accessed through verified, primary government channels to mitigate the risk of falling victim to these scams.
