Explanation

Threat actors are trying to collect credit card information, Luxtrust credentials and OTP token.

The phishing mail leads the user to believe that their electronic identity certificate will expire soon (e.g. 2 days), and by clicking on the link the user is redirected to the phishing landing page.

The first landing page presents an input form to collect credit card information.
Once that information is provided, the web page redirects the victim to another form where the goal is to collect Luxtrust token one-time-passwords and credentials.

Prevention

If you are uncertain about the authenticity of an email, do not hesitate to contact the entity that seems to have sent you the email using a safe communication manner, using the phone for example (no phone number from the untrusted email must be used in order to verify the authenticity).

If you are working for the Luxembourgish government or are using any of the GOVCERT.LU services, it is important to forward phishing emails to us (using Reporting an incident or the Outlook button). This will allow us to take down phishing websites and protect members of our constituency.
