Jingle Thief cloud phishing and smishing gift card fraud campaign
Campaign
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
The Jingle Thief campaign is actively using phishing and smishing to steal cloud credentials and drive unauthorized gift card fraud against retail and consumer services organizations. Researchers observed a wave of coordinated attacks in April and May 2025, and the cluster has been active since at least late 2021. The operation matters because intruders can keep prolonged cloud access, broaden their foothold, and issue gift cards at scale with minimal traceability.
