After clicking on the link of the fraudulent message, malicious software is installed on the user's computer, and the following pop-ups are displayed after logging into the website and accessing the transactional toolbar:






This pop-up freezes the computer and the progress bar (above) appears to show the execution of an "install/update" operation. At the end of this process, a new message appears requesting an Authorisation Code, as shown in the following image:





This screen indicates that:
"During this process a transaction simulation may occur, please note that this is a synchronization procedure between the
online Security System
and your device,
you will receive an SMS which may contain simulated data and values, Banco Millennium
does not carry out any discount on your account, so keep on with the procedure and enter the code sent to your mobile phone in the form below:"
We call attention to the flawed sentence structure and grammatical errors of the text, and remind you that Millennium bcp:
- Does not send Authorisation Codes for transactions simulation;
- Does not send SMS or e-mail's with links.
Please read carefully the contents of the text message, because when you provide an Authorisation Code you are confirming a transaction in your account or the Millennium App setup on a mobile phone.
Please be reminded that...
Remember: The protection of your assets and of your computer depends on you! |
