CMCM (Phishing)

Explanation

The phishing email claims that your CMCM membership card is about to expire and prompts you to initiate the renewal process by clicking the ‘Faire la demande’ button. If clicked, you’re redirected to a malicious site.

On the malicious renewal phishing page ‘my.cmcm-membre[.]com’, victims first see a pop-up stating the procedure costs €1.53. They are then asked to provide:

  • personal information,
  • credit card details,
  • and finally, their LuxTrust credentials.

After submitting all data, a confirmation window appears, falsely stating that the request was registered. Clicking ‘Retour au site’ redirects you to the legitimate CMCM website, masking the scam.

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.
