A clever new cyber attack. Scammers know your name. They offer a round sum

Scammers know the names of potential victims. They tempt you by withdrawing funds

Cybersecurity experts from the team about the detection of a new scam that targets phone users, i.e. virtually all Poles. Fraudsters send text messages informing about the possibility of withdrawing the surplus from the account. The messages look like this:

Reminder for [tu imię]. There is over PLN 2,574 in your account and the last login was 3 months ago. Paycheck, [tu link].

This is, of course, a typical phishing operation, but quite cleverly executed. Not only do criminals tempt potential victims with large sums of money, but they also address potential victims by name to gain their trust. However, it is better not to click on the link to check how to “receive” the money. According to experts, currently the link leads to an online casino, but in the future it may lead to a fake phishing website or clicking will lead to downloading malware.

CERT Orange also informs about another new fraud targeting users of the government mObywatel application. For several days now, cybercriminals have been posing as service administrators and trying to encourage potential victims to click another dangerous link.

ATTENTION. There is a new message in the mObywatel portal inbox. Log in to your mObywatel profile using the link below [tu link].

The link, of course, leads to a false login page to a trusted profile via an account in the e-banking system. After selecting their bank, the victim is directed to a crafted bank login page. By entering your login and password there, you pass this data on to cybercriminals.
