Explanation
The objective of this phishing campaign is to steal personal information, credit card information and ultimately money. The distribution happens via email by misusing a valid survey provider. This method of distribution makes detection difficult since the sender and malicious link initially appear authentic.
The email allegedly originates from the french Agence Nationale de Traitement Automatisé des Infractions (ANTAI) and lures the user into clicking on a link in order to fill out missing information. Upon clicking the link, the user gets redirected to a static website that displays a payment reminder for a traffic violation. The text puts the user under pressure to pay immediately in order to avoid an even higher fine.
If the user follows the link on the static website, he gets asked for his personal information as well as credit card details.
The following domain was observed in the context of this phishing campaign:
