Fraudsters Clone Bank Support Pages, Urge Victims to Call

A fraud campaign active since March has been cloning bank support pages and directing victims to call fake call centers, where they are tricked into installing legitimate remote-access tools. Attackers then use these tools to compromise the victims' systems and steal data or deploy ransomware.

Why it matters: Financial institution customers and end-users are targeted by phone-based social engineering that exploits trust in bank branding; practitioners should brief users on verifying support contact methods and recognize remote-access tool installation as a compromise indicator.
