Erste Bank and Sparkasse customers have to be very vigilant at the moment. Fraudsters are currently sending phishing emails that seem extremely serious at first glance.

As a pretext, the criminals use a new s Identity app that Erste Bank and Sparkasse customers are supposed to install. To do this, they should follow a link that leads them to a fake login mask.

The email reads as follows:

Dear,

The new s Identity app is here, making your transfers in George
even more secure.
keep
our service and the quality of our services at the For more information about s Identity, see the link below.
Please open this on your phone or laptop.

Greetings from

Particularly perfidious: The Sparkasse really offers the s Identity app and the George payment system! The spelling is also fine - of course it gives the impression that the email is actually coming from the savings bank.

But there are a few points that should really make you suspicious: On the one hand, the greeting simply says “Dear,” and on the other hand, at the end, “Greetings from Zhdaini”. This means that no one would say goodbye in an official letter and the lack of the customer's name also indicates an email that was sent randomly.

We follow the link and are immediately warned by Kaspersky . We run the risk of suffering data loss. Anyone who does not a protection program will be led to a very well-made but fake login mask.

If you enter your correct data here, you are giving access directly to the fraudsters. The victim not only loses data, but also money.

Tip: If you are not sure whether a login page is real, you can simply try to log in with imaginary data. A real site would immediately recognize the data as incorrect, whereas fake sites would also recognize jumbled letters as correct login details.

Conclusion:

At first glance, the email looks quite serious, and the pretended motive also sounds logical. However, there is no personal salutation and the farewell phrase is worded too casually.

Users who have responded to the email should contact the Sparkasse immediately!
