2020-12-11 08:41
A massive phishing campaign pretending to be a Subway order confirmation is underway distributing the notorious TrickBot malware.
TrickBot is a trojan malware infection commonly distributed through phishing campaigns or installed by other malware.
What is concerning about these phishing emails is that they include the user's first name, and some users are reporting they are being sent to emails only used for Subway.
This attack may indicate a data breach at Subway UK that allowed the threat actors to gain access to customer's names and email addresses.
The Subway phishing emails are using email subjects such as "Your order is being processed" and "We've received your order," and state that it is from Subcard, as shown below.
