Phishing & impersonation
607 signals
- Fake plan administrator or financial advisor claiming a COVID or hardship early withdrawal from a 401k is available and that the target can avoid the 10% IRS penalty by submitting a claim within 30 days — advance-fee or credential-harvest fraud; real 401k hardship withdrawals are initiated through authenticated plan administrator portals, never cold email with penalty-avoidance claims.threat
401k-early-withdrawal-penalty-phish - Fake ACA marketplace or health insurance administrator claiming coverage will be cancelled unless income or enrollment is verified via email link — credential-harvest attack; real ACA coverage changes are communicated through healthcare.gov or state marketplace portals, never cold email links demanding income verification to prevent cancellation.threat
aca-health-insurance-cancel-phish - Fake agentic-AI permission-grant harvest — approve/authorize/delegate + inbox/calendar/repo scope + off-platform OAuth link.threat
agent-permission-consent-phish - Fake AI API runaway-spend / overage alert (OpenAI/Anthropic/Claude API) to harvest API keys or cloud credentials from non-official senderthreat

ai-linkedin-spear-phishing-lure - Voice Clone Gift Card BECthreat
ai-voice-clone-gift-card-bec - Fake airline or hotel loyalty program claiming frequent flyer miles or reward points are about to expire and requiring account re-verification via email link — credential-harvest attack targeting loyalty account access.threat

aitm-session-cookie-phishing-lure - Apple ID / iCloud phishthreat
apple-id-icloud-phish - QR code built from Unicode block characters (no image file)threat
ascii-qr-code-phishing - Fake auto / vehicle loan balloon payment due-date lure — "Your vehicle loan balloon payment of $X,XXX is due on [date] — pay now or your vehicle will be repossessed / reported to credit bureaus." Real balloon payment notices come from the lender's official domain established at loan origination, with proper account identification. Cold inbound email + balloon payment + repossession threat + off-brand payment link is a strong phishing indicator. Detection: balloon payment + auto/vehicle loan language + repossession/due urgency + no In-Reply-To + no List-Unsubscribe. Source: GC1 R16; CFPB auto loan fraud advisory 2025.threat
auto-loan-balloon-phish - 2FA backup / recovery codes theft — attacker asks the user to submit / enter / reply with their 2FA backup codes (the one-time codes users save when setting up 2FA for use when they lose their authenticator). Legitimate services DISPLAY backup codes to the user for saving; they NEVER ask the user to type codes back into anything, making "enter your backup codes at the verification page" / "reply with your 8 codes" a near-perfect attacker fingerprint. Harvested backup codes let the attacker bypass 2FA INDEFINITELY, even after a password change. Real precedents: Coinbase 2020 backup-code breach, Google 2023 phishing wave, ongoing Microsoft / Apple / Coinbase / Binance impersonation. Distinct from fido-passkey-downgrade-lure (passkey → password fallback), fake-password-manager-master-breach-lure (vault key harvest), fake-mobile-carrier-sim-swap-approval-lure (SMS takeover)threat
backup-codes-solicitation-phishing - Fake Plaid-style bank account re-link — "linked bank account expired, reconnect now" credential-harvest lure; real bank account linking is done inside the authenticated app, not via cold email.threat
bank-account-reverification-phish - Fake bank claiming account has been temporarily suspended or locked due to suspicious activity and requiring credential verification within 24 hours to restore access — credential-harvest attack; real banks never request full login credential re-entry via cold email link outside their authenticated portal.threat
bank-account-suspension-phish - Fake bank notice claiming unusual activity was detected and requiring identity verification within 24 hours to prevent account suspension — credential-harvest phishing; real banks never request full credential re-entry via cold email link under a 24-hour suspend-or-verify deadline.threat
bank-account-verification-phish - Bank secure message portal phishingthreat
bank-secure-message-portal-phish - Fake bank alert claiming an outgoing wire transfer requires email-link verification before processing — real banks authenticate wire transfers exclusively through secure portals, never email CTAs.threat
bank-wire-transfer-verification-phish - BankID credential harvest lurethreat
bankid-credential-harvest-lure - BEC vendor account verification fraudthreat
bec-vendor-account-verification-fraud - BEC Voice-Callback Request — deepfake-voice followup precursorthreat
bec-voice-callback-request - Fake HR department or benefits administrator claiming the target missed open enrollment and must click an emergency re-enrollment link within 24–48 hours or health insurance will be terminated — credential-harvest attack; real open enrollment is managed through authenticated employer HR portals, never cold email emergency enrollment links.threat
benefits-open-enrollment-emergency-phish - Fake Bolagsverket (Swedish Companies Registration Office) brand spoof — urgency + off-domain link.threat
bolagsverket-brand-phish - Hospitality-partner Extranet credential phishing — targets hotel / B&B / vacation-rental staff with Booking.com / Agoda / Expedia / Hotels.com / Airbnb / VRBO Partner Portal impersonation. Urgency hook tailored to the industry: "pending guest message awaiting your reply," "rate parity breach," "reservation dispute," "verify your property," "listing suspension" + a credential-harvesting login link on a non-booking.com / non-partner-central host. Force-multiplier attack: harvested Extranet creds let the attacker log in as the hotel and message guests FROM the real aggregator infrastructure with fake "update your payment method" instructions — each compromised hotel compromises its guests too. Evidence: Sekoia + Secureworks + Akamai + Google Threat Intelligence + Trustwave + Proofpoint 2024-2026 Vampire Bat / Smart Bat campaign coverage; Reuters 2024 hotel-industry reportingthreat
booking-extranet-hospitality-partner-phishing - Fake brokerage margin call / maintenance requirement demanding immediate wire transfer or account liquidation — impersonating Fidelity / Schwab / TD Ameritrade / IBKR.threat
broker-margin-call-phish - Browser-extension PUBLISHER credential phishing — impersonates Chrome Web Store / Firefox Add-ons (AMO) / Edge Add-ons / Opera Add-ons with a developer-account-security / Manifest-V3-migration / extension-listing-suspended / mandatory-publisher-verification narrative + credential-harvesting link on a non-store host. Targets extension PUBLISHERS (distinct from iter-889 `browser-extension-install-lure` which targets consumers). Compromise = attacker pushes signed malicious update to every installed user of every extension the publisher maintains, auto-deployed without user action.

Distinct from R6/R7/R8 generic vendor / merchant spoofs — this signal is specifically the M&A-rebrand bank-detail-redirect variant, an AP-fraud / wire-redirect precursor that bypasses FP-control on standard merchant-spoof signals because the framing is "we changed banks because of acquisition" rather than "your payment failed."

moving-company-quote - Compliance-deadline phishing exploiting Microsoft's real April 30 2026 SMTP AUTH / Basic Authentication sunset. Email uses the legitimate deadline for urgency — "basic auth retiring," "SMTP AUTH deadline," "app password will stop working," "IDCRL retirement" — plus a panic CTA ("migrate now," "re-authenticate now," "avoid service disruption," "mailbox will be suspended") pointing at a non-Microsoft URL that harvests M365 credentials. Microsoft Tech Community + Learn docs are the authoritative deadline reference; historical precedent: 2022 first-wave basic-auth deprecation spawned dozens of phishing campaigns per Sophos — April 2026 deadline replays this exactlythreat
