Armenia`s Cyber Police warns: Don`t take photos of objects for online  clients

ArmInfo. The Armenian Cyber Police warns citizens against cooperating with suspicious online apps that offer money in exchange for taking photos of  objects.

"Recently, various online platforms and mobile apps have become  widespread, offering citizens small paid tasks: such as photographing  specific places, objects, locations, streets, or answering suspicious  questions," the statement reads. It is noted that while these  assignments are often presented as "harmless" or "research," it is  important to understand that some of them actually pose serious  risks, including: potographing objects of national or strategic  importance; collecting data on infrastructure, security systems, or  locations; randomly photographing people, vehicles, or private areas.  In most cases, the person performing the task is unaware of the true  initiator, the purpose for which the data is being collected, and how  it will be used in the future.

Therefore, it is recommended to:  Refrain from completing assignments  involving photography or data collection if their purpose is unclear  or suspicious, Avoid photographing government, military, law  enforcement, or any other infrastructure of strategic importance, Not  allow a small payment to lure you into questionable activity.
