The People Behind The JP Morgan Chase Email #Scam Try Again…. And Fail Miserably
Yesterday I brought you the story of a half baked JP Morgan Chase email scam that was making the rounds. Today, it looks like the threat actors have given it another shot as I got this email in my inbox:
Well, they tried harder this time by adding my email address to the body of the email. But the quality of the email in terms of graphics and formatting took a bit of a dive. If it’s the same threat actors, which they are as I will prove in a second, they seriously need to do better. And almost everything that I wrote yesterday still applies here. Though the quality of the English is better this time around. But this wasn’t sent by JP Morgan Chase as evidenced here:
If that email address looks familiar, that’s because it’s the same threat actors that sent the last email. Some of the text has also been recycled from the previous email as well.
And if you click on “Review Account” which you should never do, it takes you to the same website that still doesn’t work. What’s clear here is that whomever is behind this are amateurs. I investigate a lot of these scams and this is pretty poorly executed. And the threat actors behind this have had two cracks at this. At this point, I just have to laugh at how bad this is. But that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down as there are lots of threat actors out there that have scams that actually work. Which means that you need to be on your guard at all times.
