Original phishing email for egg bank account owners

MX Lab intercepted an original, well that’s our opinion on this, phishing email campaign for egg bank account owners.

The email was sent from the spoofed email address Egg Bank Plc <notice@new.egg.com> with the subject “Account notification”.

As always, phishing is about getting personal and confidential information from a user. Once this information is obtained, the data can be used for hacking into bank accounts and so on.

This campaign has a nice attaractive eye catcher with the text “Something for the weekend” and “Two nights for the price of one”. It could catch your attention when you receive it and I could imagine that someone could follow the included link to find out more.

Unfourtunatly, the text continues with: “To ensure your protection….” and this should be moment to start thinking that this isn’t such a good offer after all.
