Summary

Hide ▲

A phishing campaign impersonating Bitpanda is stealing credentials and personal data from cryptocurrency brokerage users, raising account-takeover risk. The operation uses a near-perfect fake login flow, including staged MFA screens and a fraudulent site created days before analysis. Victims are prompted to submit names, phone numbers, addresses, and dates of birth, expanding the attack beyond simple password theft. The collected data could support password resets, fraudulent support requests, and access to other accounts that rely on personal verification.
