Aeroflot informed about the fake Instagram account of the company that appeared on the social network.

      On March 26 unknown attackers have created an account @aeroflot_official, and the first 50,000 followers were guaranteed to get free of charge tickets to Europe from Aeroflot Company as a gift for subscription.

      During the first hours since the account has been created about 6,000 people followed it. But it turned out that most of them were not real people, but "bots", as Aeroflot claims.

      Aeroflot considers the creation of a fake account as an attempt to discredit the airline company and spoil its image. The company officially applied to the headquarters of Instagram social network with the requirement to block fake account and stop this fraud.
