Ihre digitale Identität (Zertifikat) von LuxTrust läuft in 7 Tagen ab (2024-09-09)

Overview

Threat actors collecting credit card numbers and LuxTrust credentials

Explanation

In this phishing campaign, threat actors are impersonating LuxTrust. The goal of the campaign is to steal credit card numbers and LuxTrust credentials.

The email leads the user to believe that their LuxTrust certificate will expire soon and urges the user to click on the link included in the email in order to renew their certificate.

When clicking on the link, the victim is taken to a website, where they first have to enter LuxTrust credentials. Once this information is provided, the victim is requested to enter credit card numbers and a LuxTrust OTP.

Note that both the sender of the email and the actual link (not the one shown to the user) are unrelated to LuxTrust.

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.
