Security firm Proofpoint says fraudsters have updated an election-themed phishing campaign to harvest more personal information. The campaign requests that the recipient hand over their banking data to automatically sign up to receive a “stimulus” check. The original campaign, which used the lure of confirming voter registration status, contained a malicious link designed to harvest Social Security numbers, tax IDs and driver’s license details. The information collected would enable a fraudster to assume someone’s identity, take over their bank account and commandeer other assets connected to the email address they provide.”]
