CERT-AGID has identified a SPID-themed phishing campaign that uses deceptive emails linking to a fake SPID portal hosted on Google Sites to collect personal and banking data. The fraudulent pages request names, addresses, contact details and IBANs; CERT-AGID requested takedown of the hosting site and distributed IoCs via its feed to accredited structures. #SPID #CERT-AGID #GoogleSites #AgID #DepartmentOfDigitalTransformation
Keypoints
- Email phishing campaign impersonates SPID services and uses subject lines such as “Important: Confirm your SPID data” and “Verify request for your digital identity”.
- The email contains a link to a fake SPID portal hosted on Google Sites that visually mimics the official SPID site and includes AgID and Department logos.
- The fraudulent page prompts victims to enter personal information including full name, residence address, email, phone number and IBAN with bank selection.
- Unlike prior campaigns, the site does not request account credentials after data submission, suggesting the collected data will be used for targeted fraud, identity theft, or resale.
- CERT-AGID requested takedown of the hosting page and distributed Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) through its feed to accredited entities.
- Users are advised to exercise caution with unexpected emails containing suspicious links and to verify communications before providing sensitive information.
