Israel Postal Service Warns Public Against Sophisticated Phishing Scam Stealing Personal Data
Israel's National Cyber Directorate issued an urgent warning about a new, highly sophisticated phishing campaign impersonating the Israel Postal Company. The scam involves fake messages claiming a delivery failure, directing recipients to a counterfeit website that closely mimics the official postal service site. The fraudulent site captures personal and credit card information in real time as users type, even if they do not complete the submission process. This method allows attackers to steal sensitive data immediately upon entry.
The Cyber Directorate urges the public to avoid clicking on links in unsolicited delivery notifications and to track shipments only through the official Israel Postal website or app. Anyone who has entered information on the suspicious site is advised to contact their bank or credit card company immediately to block their cards and prevent financial harm. The warning highlights the importance of vigilance against phishing attempts exploiting trusted brands to deceive citizens.
