The campaign mimics USPS
The goal of the campaign is to steal login -legitimation information
Company E -mail accounts may be under the waking eye of different security solutions, but mobile devices do not enjoy the same level of protection, experts have warned as criminals have devised advanced, complex mobile phishing attacks to steal valuable login -credentials.
CyberSecurity scientists at Zimperium recently discovered a new campaign using a unique obscurity technique -they would first build a PDF file that mimics the United States Postal Service (USPS). The structure of the file is quite complicated, the researchers said as it has a headline, body, cross -hearing table and a trailer. The link leading to a malicious destination page is embedded without using the standard /URI mark, making detection and forensic technique somewhat more difficult.
