Tel Aviv-based firm uncovers Mexico phishing campaign - ISRAEL21c
Israeli cybersecurity firm Perception Point has discovered a phishing campaign in Mexico that lasted nearly two years and affected over 4,000 victims. The campaign, dubbed The Manipulated Caiman, primarily targeted Mexican citizens and defrauded them of $55 million. The attackers aimed to gain access to bank credentials of individuals and organizations in Mexico. The full extent of the attack is still unknown, but it is believed to have started in 2021 and continued until at least May 2023. Perception Point believes the attackers were able to operate due to Mexicos relatively lax cybercrime laws.
