Several SBI users have been targeted with a phishing scam where hackers sent them text messages requesting them to redeem their credit points worth ₹9,870. The suspicious text messages, redirect users to a fake website and on the landing page, they are asked to submit their financial details.
The link associated with the text messages redirects the user to a fake website and on the landing page, the user is asked to submit personal information along with sensitive financial details like card number, expiry date, CVV and Mpin in a 'State Bank of India Fill Your Details' form.
The domain name of the website can be traced to India. According to SBI, they never communicate with their customers via SMS or emails containing links with regard to the user's account.
The personal information sought on the malicious website is name, registered mobile number, email, email password and date of birth.
After the form is submitted, the user is directed to a "thank you" page.
"The domain name of the website can be traced to India, and the registrant state was found to be Tamil Nadu," the report mentioned.
