"Zelle Users Targeted With Social Engineering Tricks"

Avanan reports that cybercriminals have been using social engineering to impersonate the popular US-based digital payments network Zelle and steal money from unsuspecting victims. The phishing email is crafted to appear as authentic as possible, containing the Zelle logo, grammatically correct text, and a real link to the company's website in the "security and privacy" footer. However, it also contains a maliciously shortened link. In order to approve a pending money transfer, users are instructed to click the link. If they do so, they are redirected to a page designed to gain the trust of Zelle users. Instead of receiving funds, they may send funds to the cybercriminals behind the scam. This article continues to discuss the phishing campaign targeting Zelle users.
