Altex is one of the largest online stores in Romania at the moment, with millions of Romanians buying the products sold both online and in physical locations in the country. Because Altex is so popular, hackers started paying attention to the company, so a phishing campaign is currently underway in our country, and all Romanians are warned about what is happening in this moment.
Altex is at the center of this warning issued by the Romanian authorities who were notified about the attack that is taking place at this moment, and people must know what is happening in order to protect themselves. Those from CERT-RO have issued a notification by which they bring to the attention of all Romanians the fact that the image of Altex is used in a phishing campaign with fake prizes, the aim being to retrieve people's data and possibly steal money from their accounts.
ALTEX: New WARNING for Millions of Romanians in the Country
Altex has the image used because it is a very popular online store, so the Romanians who are targeted are not necessarily customers, but because of the prizes promised in fake way, many fall into the hacker's net. You can see in the image above what the message that some Romanians have already received as part of this campaign looks like, the hackers using the image of Altex to promise Romanians that they can win Samsung GALAXY S21, iPhone 12 or GALAXY S9 phones.
Altex has nothing to do with what is happening, and over the years it has also issued various warnings to Romanians with the idea of protecting them against attacks of this kind. Unfortunately, Romanians need to realize for themselves what is happening and protect themselves because there is no other protection for them, and in case their money is stolen after they lose their data in this phishing campaign that uses the image Altex, they might be hard to recover.
Altex runs various contests for its clients in Romania, but all are announced directly on its website, or on its own pages on social networks, so you have to look for them there.
