Rresearchers at Avanan, a Check Point Software company, have put out a report where they discuss how hackers are sending spoofed emails and creating spoofed webpages to make it appear as it comes from Anga Com, a popular conference based in Germany for broadband and media distributors attracting over 22,000 participants from 470 companies from across the world.

In this attack, users get an email from what appears to be coming from Anga Com notifying them that visitors expressed interest in their exhibit during the conference. The email continues by encouraging end-users to click on the link and sign into the portal where they are able to interact with the person who initially expressed their interest. The entire ploy was created to ultimately steal user credentials.
