Hackers are using malicious WeTransfer phishing emails to steal user credentials

NPAV research team has recently found a new phishing scam targeting user credentials.

Hackers are spreading a new phishing email with fake WeTransfer file sharing notification to steal user credentials. The phishing email notifies the targeted user about incoming files that were transferred via WeTransfer.

The email has an attachment which can be downloaded by clicking on "Get your files" button added in the email. Once the user falls into the trap and decides to click on this button, the email redirects user to a login page requesting the email id and password of the user.

The login page is a hacker-controlled web page that will store all the data provided by user. The web page is simply designed to steal login credentials of the users so that it can be used by hackers to target users.

NPAV recommends users to refrain from downloading or visiting any link shared via similar emails. These links and files can not only harm your system but can also act as a severe threat for your privacy. Install NPAV on your devices to keep them safe and secure from all kinds of cyber attacks.
