Next week, I'm speaking at #Saintcon about #phishing, #smishing, #quishing (all the -ishings) and propose a broad-based possible solution that could end this problem forever. Nothing big.

If you're going to be there, you can find me in Track 2 at 2:30pm, or most of the rest of the time at the @SAINTCON @malwarevillage Community, where we will be hosting two of our contests (MARC I and BOMBE) and encouraging people to consider the field of malware analysis and threat research as a career.

We also will have minibadges, both at #MalwareVillage and at the #Netcraft booth. If you're a #minibadge fan/collector, you aren't going to want to miss out on the Netcraft minibadge, which is awesome. Just drop by the booth to get a kit to build one. Tell them Spike sent ya.

Until then, stay safe, and please tell everyone you know, don't click links to tax refunds or toll road fees you get on your phone.

Germany was not the only non-US country represented in the #LoggerEIO #smishing attack (so far).

There was one version of a page claiming to be the Spanish highway authority, Dirección General del Tráfico (DGT), that warns you owe a 100 Euro fine (multa) for some kind of driving infraction you committed, that must be paid within 24 hours.

More recently, I spotted a flood of pages that claim to be from the UK government's Winter Fuel Payment program. The real program helps impoverished people not freeze to death in winter by subsidizing the high cost of heating. But this page simply wants your credit card to "test" charge your card for £1 on the promise that you'll get up to £300.

First of all, this seems to be part of a much wider #smishing campaign that people are more familiar with: Fake road toll collection #scams

These have been a nuisance all year, and some of the sites hosting the same #phishing kit appear to be using that same ruse, simultaneously with the new one.

Did you get a message telling you that you owe $6.99 (or $6.69 - nice) in tolls? Probably part of this larger network of scammers.

Note how they have expanded to a variety of different locales: the City of Los Angeles, Seattle, Columbus (Ohio), and even the Canadian province of Ontario are all reflected, as well as the E-ZPass and SunPass multi-state toll payment systems, which together cover most of the US states that operate toll roads.
