Almost a third of users receive bogus bank emails, says Kaspersky Report
Various services for online transactions (e-banking, e-payment systems and online stores) are now an intrinsic part of modern life for many users. The B2B international survey shows that 95% of the respondents have been doing online shopping, 91% have used the services of online banking and 74% have used e-payment systems. This trend would never escape the fraudsters’ attention.
According to the survey, 30% of the users have received emails allegedly coming from a bank which turned out to be bogus forgeries. 22% of the respondents reported suspicious messages supposedly sent on behalf of an online store. Every tenth user (10% of those surveyed) had been automatically redirected at least once to a suspicious site asking them to enter their credit card credentials. Nearly 6% of the respondents stated that they have entered financial information on dubious sites. These are all examples of the activity of cybercriminals engaged in phishing, one of many types of malicious attacks targeting important confidential financial data: credit card numbers, logins and passwords to online banking accounts, etc.
