Once again, fake Telekom emails are being sent in order to obtain user data.
This is what the email looks like:
Dear Customer
Troubleshoot issues related to your account to avoid temporary suspension.
We therefore recommend that you take a little time to update your mailing platform and migrate to these new services for free.
To switch to this new change, visit the customer center via Sicher.wandern
Kind regards,
your Telekom security team
As is almost usual with phishing emails, this one also lacks a personal salutation; the user is addressed succinctly as “customer”. In addition, the link called “sichere.wandern” is not exactly trustworthy either.
Kaspersky will immediately warn us:
Without online protection you will be taken to a replica page where you have to enter your login details:
After entering the data, you will be redirected to the official Telekom website.
At this point, the fraudsters already have the user's login details and can use them to commit further fraud.
Conclusion
With effective protection , you are immediately prevented from entering your data there in good faith.
Otherwise you end up on a mocked-up page that very curiously asks for a lot of data. The fraudsters can then use the data to their heart's content to make purchases with the users' data: there is a risk of extensive identity theft .
Therefore, always pay attention to whether the URL really belongs to a company and whether the email actually comes from a company.
If you have the slightest doubt, you should always log in directly to a company's website to check whether there are any discrepancies!
