Scammers Mengirimkan Stick USB Microsoft Office Palsu Untuk Menipu Calon korban

August 19, 2022 by Eevee

Seorang konsultan keamanan siber di Inggris menemukan paket Microsoft Office palsu yang dikirimkan ke seorang pensiunan yang sebenarnya berisi stik USB berbahaya yang dirancang untuk menipu pengguna.

Sky News melaporkan bahwa drive USB diukir dengan logo Office dan datang dalam kemasan Microsoft yang tampak nyata, yang menyertakan kunci produk yang tampak sah.

Ketika USB tersebut disambungkan ke PC USB itu tidak menginstal program Office sebalikinya malah mendorong pengguna untuk menelepon saluran dukungan pelanggan Microsoft palsu, yang kemudian akan mencoba menginstal program akses jarak jauh di komputer korban.

Skema ini cukup rumit, dan pada akhirnya bisa menipu konsumen yang tidak menaruh curiga dengan harapan mendapatkan akses gratis ke Microsoft Office Professional, yang biasanya dijual seharga $439.

Penipuan ini bekerja dengan memicu peringatan virus setelah stik USB dicolokkan ke PC korban. Untuk memperbaiki masalah ini, peringatan memberitahu pengguna untuk menghubungi nomor dukungan pelanggan. “Begitu mereka memanggil nomor di layar, helpdesk memasang semacam TeamViewer (program akses jarak jauh) dan mengambil alih komputer korban,” kata Pitman kepada Sky News. Selain itu, teknisi customer support juga menanyakan informasi pembayaran.

Bulan lalu, Robert Pooley, seorang direktur di perusahaan keamanan siber yang berbasis di Inggris Saepio, juga membunyikan (Buka di jendela baru) alarm tentang skema USB Microsoft Office palsu. “Cukup penipuan. Menunjukkan betapa pentingnya kesadaran dunia maya di tempat kerja dan di rumah,” tulisnya dalam sebuah posting di LinkedIn.

Ini bukan pertama kalinya scammer mengedarkan drive USB berbahaya melalui surat. Pada tahun 2020, perusahaan keamanan Trustwave juga menemukan stik USB bermuatan malware yang dikirim melalui surat yang berpura-pura berasal dari Best Buy sebagai promosi kartu hadiah $50.

Microsoft mengatakan kepada Sky News bahwa perusahaan telah mengalami penipuan semacam ini sebelumnya, tetapi masih jarang. Selain itu, penipu biasanya hanya mengirimkan kunci produk palsu melalui surat, daripada seluruh paket dengan drive USB.
