New scam email targets Absa and MWEB clients

MWEB and Absa clients have been targeted in a new email phishing attack, where they are asked to open an attachment aimed at stealing their private information.

The email asks users to open an HTML attachment, which in turn opens a form in a browser which steals the victim’s personal details.
 
In the past, executable keyloggers were attached to emails to steal account information from victims.

However, most security services now block users from opening an attached executable file, as most of these files are malicious.

Malware / keylogger

Scammers are now using HTML pages as attachments, where users are asked to provide their personal details in what appears to be a legitimate website.

In these scams, users are encouraged to open the attached email file, which opens in a browser and requests their username and password for a service.

Malware attached to emails is definitely on the decline.
 
Look if you're still with ABSA or MWEB it's your own fault
