Fraudsters Abuse Smartphone Google Calendar Feature to Push Through Scam Offers

Fraudsters are abusing a Google Calendar feature thats commonly enabled on smartphones to target unsuspecting users with scam offers. Kaspersky Lab came across the scam campaign after observing unsolicited pop-up calendar notifications targeting some of its mobile users via Gmail in May. These notifications encouraged users to click on a link included with the invitations. When a user clicked the link, the attack chain redirected them to a website that offered prize money in exchange for filling out a questionnaire. This survey contained questions designed to steal users personal information.”]
