Orange, the Romanian telecommunications group with the largest number of active clients in the whole country at the present time, is at the center of a very important alert, as are the people who use its services. We are talking about what is happening at the moment because of a new phishing attack, Orange customers being targeted by it and we have to be extremely vigilant, because we will have the data stolen very easily by hackers.
Orange has repeatedly warned its customers about the major problems that phishing attacks bring, but the current one is carried out by email and targets eSIM cards. You can see below what this attack looks like, which is in full swing at the moment in Romania, and this is because by email, Orange customers, and not only, receive messages telling them that they have been asked to change their card.
Orange: EMERGENCY ALERT for Millions of Customers all over Romania
Orange it normally sends SMS for these types of actions, if we choose to switch to eSIM, or to change the eSIM, so if you receive an email like the one in the image below, it's good to ignore it. As Orange Romania says on its website, in situations like this we must avoid accessing any kind of links that are put in front of us by hackers, because they are only meant to trick us.
Orange wants to help Romanian clients to avoid becoming the targets of hackers, but it is also necessary for people to be aware of the dangers they expose themselves to if they access unknown links in emails. In this situation, we are redirected to a fake website, which resembles that of Orange Romania, but which, when entering our personal data, sends them to hackers, and they can use them however they want.
Orange it can help us prevent problems, but sometimes it can't help us if we give our personal data to hackers, so it's extremely important to be vigilant in all conditions and protect ourselves.
