LuxTrust (Smishing)

Explanation

The goal of this smishing campaign is to steal LuxTrust credentials.

The SMS claims that the LuxTrust certificate is about to expire and needs to be renewed using the provided URL.

Clicking on this URL, the user is redirected to the landing page where they can choose their bank. After that, they are redirected to a fake login page to their online banking portal, where their LuxTrust credentials are stolen.

All the steps have taken place on pages under the malicious domain ’luxtrustmoncompte[.]com’ .

Example

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.
