Scammers are targeting LastPass users by sending deceptive messages claiming that the users are deceased in an attempt to extract their login credentials. These phishing attempts exploit users' emotions and trust to gain unauthorized access to their accounts. Users are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious communications.
A phishing kit called CoGUI has sent over 580 million emails aimed at stealing credentials and payment data, primarily targeting Japan, but also affecting other countries like the US and Canada. The campaign peaked in January 2025 with 170 campaigns targeting millions of users, and it has been linked to threat actors from China. Researchers warn that the kit's adoption could expand its reach to other cybercriminals and regions.
