Numerous people have received fraudulent e-mails impersonating Pekao Bank.

According to Niebezpiecznik, the link in the e-mail message looks legit, it is not suspicious, but the message itself is written in English. By clicking on the link attached to the message, victims are transferred to the bank’s fake website. After providing the login and password, victims are asked to choose the operating system: Android, iOS or another. In addition, they are also required to provide the phone number, on which the malicious app is likely to be sent next. According to the portal, after providing all the necessary details victims are asked to setup their phone.

However, in the case of iOS selected as an operating system, a message appears stating that “the operating system is currently incompatible with our application”. This example is a confirmation of how, in the case of a phishing attack on bank’s customers, iPhones are safer from the Android based phones.
