Smishing (Spuerkeess) (2023-01-05)

Overview

Threat actors collecting bank credentials

Explanation

In this case, customers of the bank Spuerkeess are targeted by receiving a phishing SMS. Its text is as follows: “Quelqu’un vient de se connecter à votre compte s-net. Si ce n’était pas le cas, veuillez visiter: https://spuer-web.online/ssogate/portal/snet".

The SMS leads the user to believe that they need to update their account.

By clicking on the link they are redirected to a page where they are asked to solve a captcha before being redirected to a fake SNET.lu (web banking) page, where they are requested to enter their bank credentials.

Prevention

If you are uncertain about the authenticity of an email, do not hesitate to contact the entity that seems to have sent you the email using a safe communication manner, using the phone for example (no phone number from the untrusted email must be used in order to verify the authenticity).
If you are working for the Luxembourgish government or are using any of the GOVCERT.LU services, it is important to forward phishing emails to us (using Reporting an incident or the Outlook button). This will allow us to take down phishing websites and protect members of our constituency.
