Have you heard of clone phishing?


It’s done by cloning a message. But it’s a classic instance of phishing!

19.05.2023 –

It works like this: You receive an e-mail message from a company you are in regular contact with and trust. Shortly afterwards you receive a second copy of the same message but this time with a note from the sender telling you about additional recipients or requests for information. This second message now contains a link to a page where for instance you are invited to enter your personal data and information about your debit or credit card. This often purports to be merely a request to update the internal database, and includes an assurance that everything will be treated in confidence. It relies on the gullibility and credulity of the cardholder.
