Spam forklædt som lottogevinst

Hvis du er blevet udpeget som vinder af enten Swiss Lotto eller UK National Lottery, skal du ikke begynde at glæde dig alt for hurtigt.

I øjeblikket bliver de to firmanavne nemlig brugt i et phishingforsøg, der skal lokke personlige data ud af danskere. Den fantastiske historie i de fremsendte mails lyder på, at man har vundet mellem fem og tretten millioner kroner.

Det er sikkerhedsfirmaet F-secure, der har peget på problemet. Hos F-Secure glæder man sig over, at de fleste danskere har udviklet en sund skepsis over for phishingmails, der forsøger at lokke personlige informationer ud af folk. Men Michael Dahl, der er kanal ansvarlig for F-Secure Danmark, ser en ny tendens:

»Vi ser også fra tid til anden større opfindsomhed fra de cyberkriminelle, som er bagmændene for disse phishing tricks. Spam/phishingmails som bevæger sig i gråzonen, da de ikke direkte spørger dig om dine personlige oplysninger, men hellere forsøger at vække din nysgerrrighed med løfter om store pengebeløb for relativt beskedne tjenester. Og når først du tager kontakt, har de forfattet et klart plot, som virker overbevisende og lovende undervejs, men typisk ender
med, at du lige skal sende nogle penge til bagmanden først, så han kan være sikker på, at du virkelig ønsker at få del i de svimlende summer, han lokker dig med,« siger Michael Dahl.

Her følger et eksempel på en af de lokkende mails, der er dukket op i denne weekend:
