Rockhal (Phishing)

Explanation

The goal of this phishing campaign is to steal money and potentially credit card information.

The web page copies the layout of the legitimate Rockhal website. The domain that is used, ‘rockhall[.]lu’, differs from the original one only through an additional letter ’l’, thereby making the impersonation hard to notice.

When a page visitor tries to buy concert tickets and enters their credit card information, a payment attempt is made with a payment service provider.

This case highlights the importance of carefully verifying the domain.

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.
