BitDefender: BitDefender Uncovers Fraudulent Scheme Targeting JPMorgan Chase & Co Customers; New phishing raid attempts to deceive e-banking users into revealing their sensitive financial data.

BUCHAREST, Romania -- BitDefender researchers detected a new
significant wave of e-mail spam purporting to verify and reinforce the
"new security measures" from Chase Online Banking Team.

The online form, which claims to be the financial institution's portal,
spoofs several visual identification elements, such as the logo and
general layout, but its domain appears to be registered in Turkey(.tk).

When users confirm via a PHP script, phishers are able to steal the
data. The retrieved information could be employed to empty bank
accounts, but also for subsequent spamming, phishing or vishing
purposes.

"In terms of security, the repercussions of the critical economic
context and unprecedented changes into the financial realm translated
into highly increased spamming and phishing activities," said Vlad
Vlceanu, Head of BitDefender AntispamResearch. "For e-criminals, the
general concern and panic are an ideal opportunity to gain access to
sensitive information. Now more than ever, users should be extremely
cautious when handling their financial and personal data throughout the
Internet."
