The internet security experts from the Marken company distributing the Bitdefender antivirus software warn against cyber criminals impersonating system administrators.

According to the researchers the unknown group of hackers has send e-mail messages to numerous victims from the cborges@inea.gob.ve address, in attempt to extort e-mail inbox data.

In the message, the scammers inform the users that their inbox has exceeded the limit of storage space set by the administrator. They try to intimidate the victims by saying that they will not be able to send and receive any messages if they do not verify their e-mail inbox data once again. In reality the cyber criminals want to extort sensitive login information from the victims, such as: the users’ name/login, password code and phone number.

What seems suspicious is that the text of the message does not have any Polish signs and is lacking a footer containing information about the sender. However, the hackers hope for the people's carelessness and that the victims will read the provided text in a hurry, being afraid that their account will be deactivated.
