A new email scam that goes after your banking information looks so legit it could fool you. The scam pretends to be Citibank replete with an authentic-looking website, according to cybersecurity news site BleepingComputer, which credits MalwareHunterTeam as the organization that discovered the scam. Security certificates lend additional credibility to the scam because they imply authenticity. Here’s how the scam works: after a Citibank customer is fooled into entering their login information, they are shown forms that request personal information. If the user falls for the bait, all requests to the phishing site can be sent back to the valid site.
