guichet.lu (Smishing)

Explanation

The user first has to click a button to start the procedure Afterwards, they are requested to enter their car registration number, followed by personal information. The final steps of the procedure request credit card information and LuxTrust credentials.

All the steps have taken place on pages under the malicious domain ‘my-guichet-lux[.]com’ .

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.
