Fake text messages – cybercriminals are targeting Wirtualna Polska e-mail users

Lost24

Users of Wirtualna Polska e-mail service have received fake text messages that warned them of potential blocking of their accounts. They were then urged to log in to a website that posed for Wirtualna Polska login page.


These message were obviously a part of a phishing attempt that was directed at random phone numbers, a lot of whom do not belong to WP users. According to the official statement from WP’s e-mail service team all of the user data is secure and phone number database used for the hack was not generated from the actual information listed the WP’s user profiles.


As always, remember that admins of WP mailing service will never send out text messages asking you to provide your login credentials.
