Spam and phishing in Q1 2021

In Q1 2021, Dutch clients of several Dutch banks faced a phishing attack using QR codes. Cybercriminals have actively exploited the topic of government payouts, most often in relation to damage caused by the pandemic. In a newsletter purporting to be from the MKB bank, recipients were asked to catch up on the latest news about the. pandemic and measures taken by the bank. The attacks were mostly aimed at stealing any card details and personal data. In both cases, to make a vaccination appointment, a form had to be filled out with personal data; and in the first case, the phishers also wanted bank card details.”]
