The FluBot campaign sending scam messages became active in Finland in June and is still causing trouble. Based on reports received by the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC-FI), scam messages written in Finnish are being sent to thousands of people in Finland. Earlier this summer, the message said there is a package in delivery and contained a link for tracking the delivery. The link tried to lure the recipient to a scam website and install the malicious FluBot software. In the new campaign, the messages use a voicemail theme. This alert was discontinued on 17 August 2021 after the situation settled.
