Trend Micro threat analysts recently discovered a phishing attack targeting the website of the Capita Group. The said site is dedicated for the company shareholders’ use. It aims to reduce the need for paperwork and provides 24 hour access for greater convenience.

The fake Web portal asks users to enter their surname, shareholder reference number, postal code, telephone number, date of birth, and employer. After entering the said information, the page will redirect them to another login page that requires them to enter their account information—first name, middle name, last name, address, city, country, mother’s maiden name, and email address. Only after filling in the information will the users be redirected to a legitimate page of the Capita website.

Phishers will indeed do whatever it takes just to prey on unwitting victims. For this reason alone, users must be careful in giving out their credentials online. The phishing website used in this attack is already being blocked by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network™.
