Description

Pharmaceutical-themed spam campaigns continue to target individuals and organizations, particularly in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Recent observations reveal a bulk spam campaign using spoofed identities and compromised infrastructure to send deceptive emails. The attackers employ tactics such as domain spoofing, DKIM signature manipulation, and the use of compromised servers running malicious PHP scripts. The emails contain links that redirect users to fraudulent websites posing as legitimate Canadian pharmacies, often including a fake security verification step. These campaigns aim to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information or potentially installing malware. The persistence of pharmacy-themed spam highlights the need for continued vigilance and awareness of common scam tactics.
