IT security notice: phishing mails coming from domain name @painc.org!!!
Dear all,
We would like to warn you all about several phishing messages that are circulating right now, supposedly coming from PIANC, but sent from the domain @PAINC.org (which is only one letter of difference with ‘PIANC.org’!!!).
We assume there will be more emails coming from this domaine (other ficticious email addresses, like, for example, president@painc.org), but please note that only emails coming from @pianc.org are genuine/official addresses. As there is only one letter of difference, this can easily be overlooked, so we urge you to be vigilant about false addresses!
As a result of our increased internet security policy, we wanted to inform our members and stakeholders about this. In the case of phishing, ‘the weakest link’ is the reader of these emails and the way one might respond to it. In this context, we would like to advise you to take the phishing test created by the Belgian government (https://www.safeonweb.be/en/take-phishing-test), as to increase awareness and knowledge about this kind of emails.
Best regards,
PIANC HQ
