ESScamm

ESScamm refers to a phishing campaign that targets users of the popular online game, EVE Online. The campaign's primary objective is to steal player accounts, which often contain valuable in-game assets and currency. Attackers employ various social engineering tactics to trick players into revealing their login credentials.

These phishing attempts typically involve fake emails or in-game messages that appear to originate from official EVE Online sources or trusted community members. The messages often present urgent alerts, such as a fabricated security breach or a required account verification, prompting the user to click on a malicious link. This link leads to a fake login page designed to mimic the legitimate EVE Online website. Once the user enters their username and password, the credentials are sent directly to the attackers.

The stolen accounts can then be used to transfer virtual goods, sell them for real-world money, or disrupt the in-game economy. EVE Online developers, CCP Games, have implemented security measures and regularly warn players about such scams. Players are advised to be vigilant, double-check website URLs before entering login information, and enable two-factor authentication on their accounts to enhance security. Recognizing the signs of phishing is crucial for protecting one's EVE Online account and its digital assets.
