Kropyvnytskyi's Hrechka receives phishing emails posing as Vchasno

Kropyvnytskyi online news outlet Hrechka received phishing emails twice in one day, editor Anastasia Dzyubak reports to Pavlo Lisnychenko, the regional representative of the Institute of Mass Information.

Both emails claimed to be from the online digital document management service Vchasno. The emails had PDF files attached with payment instructions and linked addresses, which the senders instructed the journalists to open.

“This is not our first time, so we do not respond to such provocations. Moreover, the scammers listed the addressee as a LLC, which is an acronym our office has not used in a long time. So this was another 'do not open' flag,” commented Anastasia Dzyubak.
