FINRA opozarja na e -poštno kampanjo z lažnim predstavljanjem z uporabo imenskih domen

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued a warning on Friday about an ongoing phishing email campaign that uses imposter regulator’s domain names. According to the advisory, the fraudulent emails use the following domains: @finrar-reporting.org, @Finpro-finrar.org and @gateway2-finra.org.

Regulator stated that the emails ask recipients to click on a link under the phrase ‘view request’ and then calling the people to fulfil the information to ‘complete’ such a request. In fact, fraudsters add a note that failing to do so could attract penalties. “FINRA recommends that anyone who clicked on any link or image in the email immediately notify the appropriate individuals in their firm of the incident. None of these domain names are connected to FINRA, and firms should delete all emails originating from any of these domain names,” FINRA said.

Poleg tega je subjekt že zahteval od registrarja domen takšnih imposterskih domen, da jih začasno ustavi. Od časov tiska so poročila samo o teh treh domen, ki se uporabljajo v kampanji za lažno predstavljanje, ki se predstavlja kot FINRA. "FINRA opozarja podjetja, naj preverijo zakonitost vsakega sumljivega e -poštnega sporočila, preden se odzovejo, odprejo vse priloge ali kliknejo vse vdelane povezave," je dodal organ.

CySEC je tudi žrtev ponarejenega spletnega mesta, ki se predstavlja za njih

Another regulator but in Europe had been recently a victim of an impersonation campaign. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) issued a warning yesterday about a fake website impersonating them and hosted in India. According to the letter, the bogus site copied all the content illegally from the original CySEC website, falsely giving the impression that it is the real watchdog.

Lažna domena je cysecgov.com, uradna spletna stran CySEC pa www.cysec.gov.cy. "To spletno mesto je prevara in ni povezano s CySEC. Druga razlika je v tem, da so vse objave na spletnem mestu, ki nezakonito kopira objavo CySEC, le do oktobra 2020. Pravo spletno mesto CySEC ima objave do tega meseca, avgusta 2021, «je poudaril finančni nadzornik.
