Threats Tagged 'client-side theft'

A consumer-targeted credential theft operation uses DHL brand impersonation combined with a fake OTP verification mechanism to harvest passwords from victims. The attack employs an 11-step chain beginning with spoofed shipment notification emails, leading victims through a client-side generated OTP page that creates false trust, then directing them to a DHL-branded credential harvesting portal. The kit captures passwords alongside victim telemetry including IP address, device details, browser fingerprinting, and geolocation data. Exfiltration occurs through EmailJS, a legitimate client-side email service, sending stolen credentials to an attacker-controlled Tutamail address. The campaign concludes by redirecting victims to the legitimate DHL website to avoid suspicion, demonstrating how familiar workflows and brand trust can be weaponized without technical sophistication.
