#KIMissbrauch Ein neues #Phishing-Toolkit namens #Darcula nutzt #KI, um jede beliebige Website automatisch zu klonen.

Nach Eingabe der URL erstellt es täuschend echte Kopien, inklusive Übersetzung und passender Eingabemasken. Angriffe erfolgen oft per #Smishing über #SMS oder #RCS-Nachrichten. Die Software funktioniert nach dem SaaS-Modell und erhöht das Risiko gezielter #Phishing-Attacken deutlich.

heise online · KI-Tool klont Webseiten und macht Phishing kinderleichtBy Alex Cameron Hall

Neue Form von #Phishing per Mail: Sehen aus wie eine typische Eingangsbestätigung, kommen scheinbar von diversen Stadtwerken, Banken und Reiseveranstaltern. Tatsächlich kommen sie über Google-Mailserver bzw. bei Google angelegten Mailinglisten und zeigen auf URLs, die garantiert nichts mit dem angeblichen Absender zu tun haben, auch wenn die Websites dahinter so ähnlich aussehen sollten (hab keine angeklickt). Augen auf!

Phone Scam spoofing Vatican phone number

A sophisticated phone scam is using spoofed Vatican City caller ID (+379 67641975) to create false legitimacy, when in fact this prefix is not actually in use by Vatican City. Scammers can try to employ various religious pretexts to collect personal information, financial details, and payments from victims.

**Never answer unexpected calls from unfamiliar international numbers as they're likely scams using spoofed caller IDs. Never call back to such numbers, they may be tricks for you to call a premium number. If you answer and someone claims to be from a known company or the government, always hang up (and don't pick up again) - then contact the institution through their official website or phone number.**

Today, two people I live with received a letter. It told them about an upcoming change to the agreement of their (shared, presumably) Halifax #CreditCard.

Except... they don't have a shared Halifax credit card. Could it be a #scam? Some sort of #phishing attempt, maybe, or perhaps somebody taking out a credit card in their names?

I happened to be in earshot and asked to take a look at the letter, and was surprised to discover that all of the other details - the last four digits of the card, the credit limit, etc. - all matched MY Halifax credit card.

So yeah: Halifax sent a letter to me, about my credit card... but addressed it to... two other people I live with‽

I spent on the phone with Halifax, with two different advisors, who couldn't fathom what had happened or how. My credit card is not (and has never been) a joint credit card, and the only financial connection I have to the people on the letter is that I share a share a mortgage with them.

Halifax have promised to to respond to my complaint within... eight weeks. Just brilliant.
