Vánoce – ideální čas pro podvodníky

VIRY.CZ - 11 Prosinec, 2023 - 12:44

Blížící se Vánoce jsou ideálním momentem pro vyšší množství i stoupající kreativitu phishingových útoků. Falešné slevové poukazy, podvodné eshopy se zbožím za akční ceny, investiční portály se super zhodnocením úspor, zaseknuté balíky ze zahraničí u celní správy, ztracené balíky dopravců, pracovní nabídky na vydělání milionů na sociálních sítích, …

Falešná zásilkovna.cz

Zrovna teď se šíří podvodné e-maily na téma „doručení pozastaveného balíčku“ od Zásilkovna.cz. Stiskem tlačítka „Naplánujte si doručení“ tak zahájíte maximálně proces postupného odevzdání osobních údajů a informací o platební kartě útočníkovi… Níže přidávám pár obrázků z celého procesu.

Prevence

Obecně se vždy doporučuji kouknout na záhlavní zprávy / stránky, kdo Vám zprávu zasílá a zda adresa stránky, na kterou přecházíte, opravdu patří dopravci, eshopu, … A ještě lépe, zamyslet se nad celou situací, zda vůbec dává smysl. Když není dopravce schopen dohledat adresu pro doručení, kde dohledal e-mailovou adresu? I kdybych opravdu balíček čekal, proč bych měl za doručení platit znova? Když prodávám zboží na bazaru, proč bych měl někomu odevzdávat údaje z platební karty? Peníze chci přece já…
