Poczta Polska warns about phishing actions
CERT Poczta Polska informs about the severity of phishing actions, sent in the form of SMS messages, in which cyber criminals, impersonating Polish post office, try to obtain financial benefits and personal data of citizens.
The messages are sent to random phone numbers and have nothing to do with real shipments implemented by our company.
SMSs with information about the alleged inability to deliver the parcel are often generated from foreign numbering (e.g. French +33, Filipino +63) . They contain a link, after clicking which the SMS recipient is redirected to a page extorting data.
Please pay attention to messages about a similar topic and content containing a suspicious link or attachment, do not click into such links and do not open suspicious attachments. If you receive correspondence, in which the sender is impersonated to the Polish Post Office, please report it to CERT Poczta Polska, sending a message to incident@poczta-polska.pl . This will allow us to warn other network users and report blocking a false page to the relevant services.
In order to verify the received SMS, it should be sent to 8080 made available for this purpose by CERT Polska. In response, we will receive information whether the message is real.
We would like to remind you that the correct address of the Poczta Polska website is: https://www.poczta-polska.pl and the parcel tracking address are: https://emonitoring.poczta-polska.pl/ and www.pocztex.pl/slewień-przesylek/.
Remember:
- When using the website, check if the domain is correct,
- keep vigilant in the event of a request to provide your password, even if the message looks officially,
- Remember that messages containing attachments are particularly suspicious, especially the Office archives and documents with the slogan given in the message,
- Update the operating system and programs on the used computer, phone,
- keep your anti -virus program in the news,
- For sensitive private communication, use End-to-End encrypted messengers, e.g. Signal.
