The ZEROSPAM security team detects and stops a phishing attack targeting DESJARDINS.COM
07 September 2005
On Sept 6, the ZEROSPAM security team identified and stopped a phishing attack targeting DESJARDINS.COM. This email campaign, which originated from a mail server in Brazil, also affected some of ZEROSPAM's subscribers.
The message lured Desjardin clients to enter personal information on a fake online banking site and then redirected them to the real Desjardins.com site. This attack was launched from a Web site located in Great Britain and carried out by a third party who had nothing to do with the attack. ZEROSPAM immediately contacted both Desjardins security officers and the owner of the hacked Web site, who was completely unaware of the situation. The site was immediately taken offline following our request.
Phishing attacks are taking on new proportions and the ZEROSPAM solution provides effective protection against this dangerous form of spam.
