A new phishing kit called Xiū gǒu is being used in attacks targeting users in Australia, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States since September 2024. With more than 2,000 identified fake websites, Xiū gǒu targets sectors such as utilities, messaging, banking and digital services. Cybercriminals employ the kit to deploy phishing sites that use Cloudflare’s anti-bot and hosting protection, making them difficult to detect. The kit, developed by a Chinese-speaking actor, uses technologies such as Golang and Vue.js and is designed to exfiltrate credentials via Telegram. The attacks are distributed via Rich Communications Services (RCS) messages, which alert about parking tickets or package delivery issues, encouraging victims to click on shortened links to resolve the supposed problem.
