We removed the alert on the theft of banking credentials

Fraudulent messages were sent in the name of My Kanta Pages and the Suomi.fi service with the aim of stealing the recipients' online banking credentials. The messages included links that took the reader to an authentic-looking website set up to phish for online banking credentials from people who entered their details on the website.

Scams to steal banking credentials have continued for several weeks. Fraudsters pretend to contact people on behalf of banks or popular e-services. At present, the campaigns involving My Kanta Pages and the Suomi.fi portal have somewhat calmed down, but other attempts to phish for banking details via email or SMS are still common.

The methods employed in campaigns to phish for banking details are also used in phishing messages sent to organisations, so it is important to stay up to date on current phenomena. Learning to spot a scam message sent to a private email address also makes it easier to see through phishing attempts targeted at organisations.

Have you been a victim of a scam?

If you suspect that your banking details have fallen into the wrong hands, immediately contact your own bank to prevent any damage and also report the fraud to the police.
