How phishing attacks are exploiting Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A new round of phishing attacks analyzed by email security provider Tessian aims to steal cryptocurrency under the guise of requesting charitable donations toward the Ukrainian cause.
The phishing emails observed by Tessian capitalize on the old donation scam tactic but use the invasion of Ukraine as the draw.
One phishing email impersonating the Australian Council for International Affairs requests donations toward Ukraine in the form of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
The email includes a link to a website with details on the conflict and steps on how to donate cryptocurrency to help Ukraine.
