Sophisticated Phishing Tactics Unveiled in Targeted FCC Cybersecurity Breach

Several phishing campaigns targeting employees of cryptocurrency platforms such as Binance and Coinbase and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been discovered, including one dubbed CryptoChameleon, which targets cryptocurrency platforms and employees. Based on an analysis from Lookout, the victims of this attack primarily use Apple iOS and Google Android devices with SSO solutions, such as Okta, Outlook, and Google, with their Apple and Google accounts with single sign-on. 

Several days ago, Lookout, a company focused on cloud security, announced that it had discovered an “advanced phishing kit” that targeted cryptocurrency exchanges, revealing techniques similar to what was expected. The phishing kit, which has been dubbed CryptoChameleon, can also be used to cheat the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by using mobile devices. 

Most of the intended targets are crypto traders, single sign-on (SSO) services in the U.S., Binance staff, and Coinbase employees, with a small minority being Bitcoin traders and SSO service users. The kit seeks to trick victims into sharing sensitive information, including usernames, passwords, password reset URLs, and photo IDs, by sending carbon copies of SSO pages, phishing emails, SMS messages, and call-in scams via email, SMS, and voice mail, mainly aimed at US users.
