Holiday phish based on genuine hotel booking
Scammers have launched a devious phishing campaign aimed at tricking customers of targeted hotels into transferring funds to a drop account.
Securobods suggested cybercrooks either hacked into a Spanish hotel’s system or persuaded someone to hand over customer records on a false pretext before using the purloined details to trick their customers into transferring funds to a bank account in Poland. Prospective marks were also asked to hand over credit card verification codes (CVV numbers) to scammers.
