Cyber Crime Update: Cyber Criminals Getting Smarter, More Sophisticated and More Organized

Posted on 8 February 2016 by The Tactical Hermit

Just this morning alone I have received two specially crafted scam emails from cyber criminals targeting unsuspecting Nigerians (mostly those that have bank accounts). I must say I am impressed!

I almost fell for this scam email even with my years of Information Security Research and Ethical Hacking. The reasons I almost fell for this scam are simply because.

  1. I am a UBA customer and I use their prepaid card for online transactions.
  2. The from name is no-reply@udirect.com ( not the actual email address but the name of the sender).
  3. The email is properly formatted.
  4. The real Url is masked under http://www.ibank.ubagroup.com/BVN(Here is the real URL masked http://ow.ly/XUJAM).
  5. The User interface is almost like the real one.

When I clicked on the URL It took me to this fake website below.

    The legislative landscape around hemp-derived CBD https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/thc-sleep-gummies transformed dramatically with the 2018 Farm Bill in the United States. Products containing less than 0.3 percent THC became governmentally legal, unlocking doors for consumers and businesses in equal measure. Nevertheless, state regulations yet vary, so confirming local laws remains crucial. This advancing framework continues to influence how people access and embrace cannabidiol-based wellness products across the territory.
