During the November sales, attackers disguise phishing links as advertising offers, said Alexandra Pozherskaya, an expert at the People's Front project "For Borrowers' Rights" and the Moshlovka platform. "The attackers are disguising their attacks as marketing advertising offers, posting ads that a huge sale is planned and that a promotional code can be taken for an even bigger discount," Pozherskaya told Sputnik Radio. According to her, the promotion code is issued by a random code generator, and to get it you have to follow a link that turns out to be a phishing link. The scammers also ask to send an ad with a link to acquaintances and friends for an even bigger discount, the expert added. Pozherskaya noted that when clicking on such links, a potential victim is deprived of important data and receives a background download of malware to the device. She advised double-checking attractive offers on the official websites of brands and installing security solutions on the devices.
