On June 22, the anti-phishing council called attention to the fact that phishing emails for the popular app Spotify have been confirmed.
Phishing emails on Spotify
According to the Anti-Phishing Council, a phishing email for Spotify has been sent, and an example of the email is as follows.
If you tap “Confirm” in the fake email, you will be directed to a phishing site that uses Spotify.
Phishing sites will prompt you to enter personal information such as your address and phone number, as well as your credit card information.
If you enter your credit card information, it may be misused by a third party, so if you receive an email, be careful not to enter your personal information or card information.
How to deal with phishing emails
The Phishing Countermeasures Council said that the phishing site is a copy of the contents of the real site and “it is very difficult to distinguish”, and when logging in to Spotify etc., avoid access from email and use the official app and We warn you to access from your browser bookmarks.
Also, on the official website, when you receive a suspicious email about Spotify, Spotify forwards the email to spotof@spotify.com, reports it to Spotify, and asks you to delete the email.
If you report it to Spotify, Spotify will investigate your email and notify you of the results.
It is reported that the number of phishing sites increased 1.3 times from the previous year in 2020, and many phishing emails were sent to iPhone Mania.
Please note that phishing emails for various services may be sent in the future.
