High tech Nigerian letters
I would like to share a fun high-tech “wiring” aimed at people who are more or less friends with technology. The key vulnerability that fraudsters hit is greed, as usual.
The story began with strange calls from +21624218517, which were reset after one or two rings. What does a modern person do when they call him from an unfamiliar number? Right, google it. Surprisingly, there are few results, but one of them deserves special attention: An
amazing mistake, an even more amazing inscription with the account balance and, lo and behold, the show button next to the password works.
The site to which the "error" page sends is called Miner Coin Exchange, as if hinting that coins are being mined here, and they are being changed for something. The topic of bitcoins today is a rumor, and those wishing to raise a little "digital gold", most likely, will be abundant. And then the Transfer button also works:
But when trying to transfer, the victim sees an annoying restriction, for the transfer you need to have 2.5 bitcoins in your account:
What should I do? You just need to replenish the "wallet" on the "exchange" with only 0.01 bitcoin to get as much as 26 thousand dollars. Few will resist!
Unfortunately, the "replenishment" address changes with every new entrance to the site, so I did not manage to track how many victims have already fallen for this bait. Be careful, take care of your money!
