The most joyful time of the year is the beginning of the new year, greeted with abundant discounts and holiday enthusiasm. However, scammers are not sitting idle during this period.
In order to steal your personal data and money, scammers disguise traps set up around the New Year discount season as New Year’s gifts. Kaspersky experts identified new phishing cases that emerged during this period:
Phishing scams targeting personal accounts
Some phishing The sites aim to obtain data by infiltrating users’ personal social media and messaging accounts under different guises. They request information from you, and when you send this information, it falls directly into the hands of fraudsters.
One of these types of phishing attacks was recently seen in Singapore. Scammers have created a sophisticated phishing site targeting individuals with the promise of payments from Singapore’s Ministry of Finance in the new year. This deceptive site was designed to give an air of credibility by mimicking the ministry’s corporate identity. Visitors who wanted to receive the payment were asked to enter their Telegram account information.
Once the user entered their Telegram account information, the fraudsters gained full access to the account. This potentially led to digital identity theft, access to private conversations, and the opportunity to impersonate the victim for further malicious activity.
Phishing sites promising New Year’s gifts and impersonating banks
Another phishing technique designed to trap believers in miracles was a lottery drawing involving banks. Since New Year’s Eve is a time for surprises and gifts, scammers direct their victims to phishing sites that invite them to obtain their banking information.
In one example of a New Year’s scam, Filipino citizens were specifically targeted. In this method, individuals were invited to a website where they had to spin a wheel for a chance to win money. After spinning the wheel, users were shown the gifts they had supposedly won and were asked to choose among banks where the money could be deposited.
Once users made the choice, they found themselves on phishing sites designed to mimic real online banking interfaces. This deceptive tactic was the scam’s final push and aimed to defraud victims by gaining access to their banking credentials and ultimately their money.
Fake New Year crypto gift boxes with no Pokémon inside
The risks in the cryptocurrency market are extremely high. Stealing even a wallet holding one-tenth of a Bitcoin gives fraudsters a significant profit. That’s why scammers put a lot of effort into creating convincing phishing emails and sites. Thus, they make it difficult for the user to notice the trap that has been set.
In one such case, scammers created a phishing page that copied the official offering of the site Courtyard.io, which allows users to convert physical collectibles into tokens. The original Courtyard.io site invited users to sign up and purchase a holiday box containing a Pokémon card. Scammers created a different phishing page with the same offer. However, to receive the surprise box, visitors had to connect to a crypto wallet, which resulted in their funds being stolen.
