14 DAY TRIAL // Customers of Discover Bank are still being targeted by cybercriminals. The latest scheme that leverages the company’s name is designed to distribute malware with the aid of bogus emails entitled “Your most recent payment has been processed.”
“This e-mail is to confirm that we have processed your most recent payment. Please remember to use your new information the next time you log in. To view more details please click here. Log In to review your account details or to make additional changes,” the fake notifications read.
According to Dynamoo’s Blog, when users click on the link from the email they’re led to a legitimate hacked website that’s set up to take victims to one of three malicious scripts.
These scripts direct the user to a malware landing page hosted on a hijacked GoDaddy domain.
Users who come across such emails are advised to delete them immediately. If you’re a victim, make sure to scan your computer with an antivirus software and keep an eye on your bank account for illegal transactions.
