Avast the industry leaders in the digital data protection
domain, recently reported an online phishing scam that targeted the Finnish
bank customers and has been able to earn big money. According to Deborah Salmi,
Avast blog author, the attack is a spear phishing campaign and is spread as
text messages and emails. These text messages and emails are simply to fool the
bank customers and to make them give away their banking account login
credentials. The messages and emails contain a link in the body, clicking on
which directs the customer to a fake bank login page, where a gullible customer
enters his/her ID and bank access codes including PIN.
According to Avast “So far, 500,000 Euros has been stolen. Of
course, there is no default payment and the whole thing is a hoax to earn
cybercriminals money. Within the last month, 95 percent of the victims have
been women,”

the web and attacking millions of the internet and bank users around the world.
