New Phishing Scam Uses Sarit Hadad's Name to Steal Bank Details

A new phishing scam circulating on social media falsely offers tickets to a Sarit Hadad concert to trick Israelis into revealing personal and financial information. The campaign features a poorly designed AI-generated poster that does not resemble the singer and directs users to a fake website where they are asked to provide details. After submitting information, victims receive a call from a scammer posing as a representative who requests additional confirmation, including a one-time password (OTP) sent via SMS. This OTP is then used to gain unauthorized access to the victim's bank account.

The scam method is not new; similar attacks previously targeted Israeli singer Eyal Golan and Bank Leumi customers. Matan Gidinyan, founder of the anti-fraud app Fisherman, warns against clicking on such links, sharing credit card details, or disclosing OTP codes received by SMS. The key advice is to avoid interacting with suspicious links, never share financial information, and keep OTP codes private to prevent bank account takeovers.
