Cybercriminals are promoting a new phishing kit named 'V3B' on Telegram, which currently targets customers of 54 major financial institutes in Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, and Italy.
The phishing kit, priced between $130-$450 per month depending on what is purchased, features advanced obfuscation, localization options, OTP/TAN/2FA support, live chat with victims, and various evasion mechanisms.
According to Resecurity researchers who discovered V3B, its Telegram channel already counts over 1,250 members, indicating the new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform is quickly gaining traction in the cybercrime space.
V3B uses heavily obfuscated JavaScript code on top of a custom CMS to evade detection by anti-phishing and search engine bots and protect from researchers.
It includes professionally translated pages in multiple languages like Finnish, French, Italian, Polish, and German to enhance the effectiveness of the phishing attacks, allowing threat actors to run multi-country campaigns.
