Russians Impersonate Signal Support to Launch Phishing Attacks
1 articles · Updated · The Register · Aug 3
Summary
Russians are posing as Signal support in a phishing campaign aimed at tricking users into handing over access or sensitive information.
The operation relies on impersonation rather than a flaw in Signal itself, using fake support outreach to make the messages appear legitimate.
The report places the campaign among a broader run of security threats, alongside US action against Iranian propaganda sites and other active cyber incidents.
