Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a large-scale ongoing fraud scheme that lures unsuspecting Russian Internet users with promises of financial rewards to steal their payment card information. The multi-stage phishing attack exploited the credibility of Russian Internet portal Rambler to trick users into participating in a fictitious “Like of the Year 2020” contest. The fraudsters also delivered the phishing messages by sending cash prize alerts as Google Calendar events, a new trend in social engineering. Group-IB said the scheme is just one of six different fraud campaigns that operate under the same modus operandi.
