How Does the Amazonidscure Scam Work?

Scammers may utilize a variety of phishing techniques. Spoofing is one common technique used by scammers. Scammers are using software that masks their real identity by displaying a fake telephone number.

Scammers send messages that mimic texts from Amazon. These messages falsely claim that “A login attempt to your Amazon Shopping was made from an unknown browser” and encourage victims to click a link (eb4.us/b0118b96) to update account information. This link is a phishing attempt link and should not be clicked or followed!

VirusTotal flagged eb4.us as malicious and phishing:

Attackers may use long redirect chains to hide malicious content. Most malicious redirects are conditional. It means that redirection only occurs when a certain condition is met. For example, users are redirected only if they click from a smartphone.

Eb4.us is not the final redirect destination. Depending on the browser and the IP, the visitor gets redirected further. We detected the following URLs were used in the redirect chain:

• https://suzuporlog-amz.dynnamn.ru/cc33e775dc1bdc27e91b8da80f881a81/100561ec311a36c2cf4749f4e350c5f1.aspx

These links are a phishing scam masquerading as an Amazon page.

A fake Amazon page:

Typically, Scammers ask victims to divulge their personal information and card details. This information can be used for identity fraud, to conduct unauthorized financial transactions and make fraudulent purchases, to sell to criminals on the dark web, or other malicious purposes.

While less likely, scammers may ask victims to call a given number. Scammers may try to trick victims into purchasing fake support services or installing a remote control tool, which they pretend to be a program to diagnose a computer. It is important to understand that having access to a computer, scammers can steal private information and personal files, install malware (spyware, ransomware or Trojan horses).

To summarize, the Amazonidscure Text (Amazon Security Message) is a SCAM. It can lead to loss of data, financial losses, theft of personal information and other serious problems.
