New Phishing Campaign Identified

August 26, 2022

On August 4th, 2022 we discovered and confirmed an active phishing campaign targeting users of multiple major European banks from a single web page.

The web page mimics the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, housing allowance service to scam people into leaving their online banking credentials and credit card details.

Upon visiting the phishing site the user is welcomed by this screen which promises to transfer money.

The unsuspecting victim is then redirected to a page with several options to submit their information. It not only uses the bank identity but also sms codes to verify new devices in your bank account.

Mitigation steps undertaken

Our CFFC team has already taken mitigation steps by reporting the phishing URL to Safe Browsing, and to the domain registrar and the hosting provider.
