Phishing kit imitating Swiss tax authority exposed online

Original: A fake Swiss tax audit that collects your IBAN. An open directory held a phishing kit imitating the Swiss Federal Tax Ad

A phishing kit impersonating the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (ESTV) has been found in an open directory. The scam presents a fake 'Sicherheitsaudit' pop-up telling victims their tax refund will be delayed unless they complete an audit, then walks them through five steps collecting personal details including name, date of birth and IBAN. Security commentators are warning that banking data entered could be used for fraud.

Why now: Newly discovered phishing infrastructure targeting Swiss taxpayers is raising fresh concerns about tax-themed scams.
