Two newly registered domain names are making the rounds in emails, attempting to lure victims into a typical PayPal fraud scheme.
The domains are wsswwsss.net and wwsawwssww.net, registered two days ago at the French domain registrar, Netissime.com.
Phishing emails pose as legitimate requests from popular financial portals, such as PayPal, and gather the login credentials after unsuspected victims enter their info, which is captured by the cybercriminals.
Part of these emails read as follows:
This is an automated email, please do not reply. Informations about your account :
