these malicious emails , it ’ s a numbers game that they are playing . IT security and cybercrime analyst for ESET Ireland , Urban Schrott , said : `` Send out enough spam and a certain percentage of victims will click . So , week after week , we ’ re seeing new scams or new variations on old scams . The past weeks were no exception . '' One such email that was sent outAttack.Phishingthis week was targeted at Tesco Bank customers - the elaborate letter pretended to have come fromAttack.Phishingthe Tesco Bank credit card team . It reads : “ We ’ ve been trying to contact you about your account , but we 've been unable to reach you . Your account has been restricted . To continue using our online services and have your account restored , just to keep you safe , kindly confirm your identity and remove your account limitations with the reference link below. ” They would then proceed to kindly stealAttack.Databreachyour log in details and try to log into your account to take your money . Bank of Ireland customers are also being targeted and ESET say that the Irish bank is `` always a popular name to abuse '' . The company have detected two phishingAttack.Phishingvariations which have recently targeted members of the banking institution . One convincing looking email claims : “ In order to protect your funds and information , Bank of Ireland has set up a new enhanced security system , which will eliminate fraud and totally protect you . The new system is called Boi Secure Link . Click the Boi Secure Link below to enjoy the new security features. ” Of course , clicking on that link does everything but protect you , but instead attempts pretty much the same as the Tesco one . The second one was even simpler , but unfortunately , not less effective . It said : “ My Inbox ( 1 ) ~ Your message is available to view on 365 online . Log in to 365Online ” . As curiosity tends to get the better of people , a “ new message in the inbox ” is a good lure to get people clicking . ESET Ireland recommends you avoid clicking on any links in such emails and do not open attachments , as they may contain malware that can end up installing ransomware , or can lead to phishingAttack.Phishingor scamming websites .
