Weekly summary 4/21-4/26

We’re closing our trackers for another mildly active Smishing week with only a handful records: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase Bank, Talmer Bank, MBT Bank, Woodforest National Bank, Scotiabank (Canada) and Natwest (United Kingdom) were among the Smishing targets.

On the Vishing side Sunmark FCU issued an alert after a significant robocall phishing campaign via 888-203-3740. This campaign was geographically pretty broadly targeted, so we assume other FI’s in the Albany, NY / 518 area codes were affected.

Carrier account takeover attempts continued to target T-Mobile and Verizon customers. Group-SMS targeting 25 or less users are the preferred distribution channel for these campaigns and effective traffic drivers to well known phishing sites.
