19.05.2023 –It works like this: You receive an e-mail message from a company you are in regular contact with and trust.

This second message now contains a link to a page where for instance you are invited to enter your personal data and information about your debit or credit card. This often purports to be merely a request to update the internal database, and includes an assurance that everything will be treated in confidence. It relies on the gullibility and credulity of the cardholder.
