New Mandarin Chinese Phishing Kit: UK, US, ES, AU, JPN Victims Across Public, Postal, Banking Sectors

Netcraft has published its latest research into a phishing kit used in campaigns targeting the UK, US, Spain, Australia, and Japan from September 2024.

Over 1,500 related IP addresses and phishing domains have been identified, targeting victims with fake charges related to motorists, government payments, and postal scams.

The kit, which uses a branded mascot and interactive features added for entertainment, has identified over 2,000 phishing websites.

Netcraft discovered organizations targeted across the public sector and the postal, digital services, and banking sectors.

Threat actors using the kit to deploy phishing websites often rely on Cloudflare’s anti-bot and hosting obfuscation capabilities to prevent detection.

The kit uses Mandarin Chinese throughout and provides users with an admin panel to configure and manage phishing campaigns.
