2024-07-01 07:58

BleepingComputer has verified that the helpdesk portal of a router maker is currently sending MetaMask phishing emails in response to newly filed support tickets, in what appears to be a compromise.

Support tickets acknowledged with MetaMask phishing.

Support requests submitted to router manufacturer, Mercku are being auto-responded to with phishing emails, BleepingComputer has confirmed.

Given its popularity, MetaMask has often become a target for attackers including phishing actors and crypto scammers.

Attackers have abused such variations allowed by the IETF's specifications to target unsuspecting users with phishing attacks.

In the meantime, Mercku customers and prospects should refrain from using the manufacturer's support portal and interacting with any communications originating from it.
