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.
- I am a UBA customer and I use their prepaid card for online transactions.
- The from name is no-reply@udirect.com ( not the actual email address but the name of the sender).
- The email is properly formatted.
- The real Url is masked under http://www.ibank.ubagroup.com/BVN(Here is the real URL masked http://ow.ly/XUJAM).
- The User interface is almost like the real one.
When I clicked on the URL It took me to this fake website below.
