Dedeman, one of the largest DIY chains in all of Romania, has issued an extremely important alert for millions of people all over the country, and it's one you need to know about right now. You can see below the alert that the people from Dedeman are sending to customers all over the country, and this is because it talks about a series of methods by which computer fraud is currently being carried out, targeting all Romanians.
Dedeman is a company with a well-known brand throughout Romania, so it is used by various phishing attacks, and not only, to trick people into giving up their personal data, and not only. Those from Dedeman are on the second alert of this kind in the last period because the number of phishing campaigns that use his image to steal people's data has increased, so the problem must be brought to people's attention.
DEDEMAN: ATTENTION! ALERT Notice for Millions of People
Dedeman talks below about the methods by which these attacks take place, based on surveys, online contests, or various other types of promotional campaigns that also involve claiming prizes. People are deceived that they have won various prizes in these campaigns, and not only that, so they are willing to give their personal data believing that they will receive something from Dedeman, but in reality they receive absolutely nothing in return.
Dedeman can sometimes be contacted by these people to ask for the supposed prizes that the attackers promise, but of course, people cannot receive any prize from the Romanian company if there is no real competition. Most phishing attacks of this kind are distributed through the social networks Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and not only that, the people from Dedeman say that we must be extremely vigilant.
Dedeman cannot help Romanians more than to alert them about these problems, but it is important that people know how to protect themselves when they are the target of such attacks.
