Israeli National Cyber Directorate Warns of Fake Postal Website Stealing Data in Real Time
The Israeli National Cyber Directorate has issued a warning about a sophisticated phishing website impersonating Israel Post. This fake site tricks users by displaying a false message claiming a delivery failure and requests address confirmation or update. The site captures personal and credit card information as users type, even if they do not submit the form.
The phishing site closely mimics the official Israel Post tracking page, luring users to enter sensitive data that is immediately transmitted to attackers. The Cyber Directorate advises the public to verify shipment status only through official postal or courier websites and to be cautious of unsolicited delivery notifications containing links.
Users are urged to carefully check website URLs before entering any personal or payment details and avoid clicking on suspicious links. If users have already entered information on the fraudulent site, they should promptly contact their bank or credit card company to block cards and monitor for unusual activity. Changing passwords used on the suspicious site is also recommended.
The Cyber Directorate provides assistance via phone at 119 for reporting and support. This alert highlights the ongoing risks of phishing attacks targeting Israeli citizens through fake delivery notifications.
