Orange is at the center of an extremely important alert that was officially issued to millions of customers all over Romania, and if you are among them, then you should know what is happening. More precisely, the government institution specialized in cyber security, CERT-RO, issued an alert for Orange customers in Romania and warns them about a phishing campaign that is currently underway.
Orange has more than 10 million customers in Romania, and their number is expected to increase by another 4 million after the acquisition of the mobile services division of the Telekom company will be completed. Those who are now customers of Orange are still targeted by this alert which brings to their attention a fake sodage that is circulating online and which targets them, the attackers trying to steal their data with the promise of enrolling them in a contest with prizes premium phones.
Orange: New ALERT Issued for Millions of Romanian Customers
Orange no anything to do with this malicious online campaign, but as you can see in the image above, his brand is used to give him credibility. Orange customers are asked to participate in an online survey in which they have to provide, among other things, their personal data, with the promise being that at the end they will be entered in a contest with various top Samsung GALAXY phones as prizes.
Orange cannot block these types of campaigns, but it has alerted its customers about them, and in the image above you can see very clearly that the website on which everything is hosted has nothing to do with the operator. Customers are also required to have a short period of time in which to take advantage of this offer that Orange apparently has, so there is also an element designed to hurry things up and make customers not think too much about situation.
Orange can do nothing but warn its customers every time about the problems brought by campaigns of this kind, but more than that, it has no way to protect its customers.
