Phishing threat
2023-08-27

L'abonnement relatif à votre identité numérique (certificat) LuxTrust arrive à expiration dans 2 jours.

Explanation

Threat actors are trying to collect LuxTrust credentials, OTP tokens and credit card credentials.

The phishing mail leads the user to believe that their electronic identity certificate will expire soon.

By clicking on the link, the user is redirected to a page where they must enter their user id. Next, they are asked to enter their credit card credentials (card number, expiration date and CVV). After completion of this step, the LuxTrust authentication credentials are asked, after which the user has to enter One-Time-Pad (OTP) code. Finally, the user has to provide the SMS code received.

After successful completion of all the steps, the attacker is able to perform a bank transfer.

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.
