Ancora phishing su Skype, finti account sospesi e clienti derubati

Il phishing è un’attività illegale che mira ad accedere a dati personali come numero di conto corrente, numero di carta di credito, per commettere un furto ai danni del malcapitato utente. Generalmente il phishing si serve di messaggi di posta elettronica o messaggi chat istantanei per rubare le password o altri codici di accesso degli ignari navigatori. Le chat più bersagliate da queste truffe sono naturalmente Skype e MSN.

Il phishing su Skype risulta particolarmente pericoloso, perché Skype non è solo una chat, ma viene utilizzato principalmente come sistema di telefonia Voip, e dunque necessita di una certa riserva di credito per poter effettuare chiamate.

Negli ultimi mesi questo popolare software è stato oggetto di diversi attacchi di phishing mirati a far breccia nella psicologia dell’utente meno esperto e rubare così la sua password Skype. La vittima viene avvisata tramite email che il suo account è stato sospeso o terminato, e viene così invitato a cliccare su un link, di solito con il pretesto di non aver completato la registrazione. Lo scopo è ancora una volta quello di rubare i nostri dati e la password di accesso a Skype, dopodichè la nostra password viene modificata dal truffatore impedendoci l’accesso al nostro account, mentre il credito residuo viene trasferito sul suo conto.

Questa truffa è estremamente semplice, eppure a quasi un anno dalla sua comparsa continua a mietere vittime. Ma perché? Una spiegazione ci viene data proprio dalle procedure di registrazione di questo popolare software.

Durante la registrazione, il discorso che Skype non chiederà mai le credenziali di accesso via email non è indicato in maniera chiara. Inoltre, i consigli del forum Skype su come difendersi dal phishing sono solo in lingua inglese, quando il forum di supporto italiano sembra più orientato a risolvere problemi di natura tecnica, di installazione e configurazione.

Per questo motivo, consigliamo a tutti i proprietari di un account Skype che in questi giorni hanno ricevuto strane email, o anche un messaggio istantaneo che li invitava a cliccare sopra un certo link, di controllare bene l’indirizzo che appare sul browser, e di assicurarsi che cominci sempre con https://secure.skype.com. Solo questo URL, infatti, indica una connessione sicura.

  1. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your
    blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  32. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or
    outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know
    any methods to help stop content from being ripped off?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  40. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
    But imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your
    posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
    and videos, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its field.

    Great blog!

  46. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to
    her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to
    tell someone!

  50. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to
    get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and
    appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome.
    Exceptional Blog!
