A new phishing campaign is luring victims with a fake story about an attempt on President-elect Donald Trump’s life.
While there have been real assassination attempts against Trump, this one is fake news. The story, which implies it is from the New York Times (NYT), describes Trump in a critical condition after being shot by Iranian agents.
Curiously, it also states that the information is “classified”.
By impersonating brands, like news media organizations, attackers create an image of credibility.
