Supposed SBB competition
The NCSC is currently receiving numerous reports of a supposed competition run by SBB to celebrate its 120th anniversary and with the possibility of winning CHF 2,000. After answering a few questions, you have to register and a subscription for CHF 14.50 per week is thereby taken out. Ignore this WhatsApp message and do not forward it to your contacts.

Spate of call centre phone calls with fake numbers
Call centres are currently making calls using fake numbers that are actually assigned to private individuals. The number owners are now receiving callbacks from other private individuals, who were notified of missed calls. There can be dozens of such calls. Unfortunately, little can be done about this. Based on experience, the waves subside again after a short time.

Bug bounty programme carried out for the Confederation's eIAM central access system

18.10.2022 - Since August 2022, a central bug bounty programme has been available to the entire Federation Administration. This has now been used on productive systems for the first time. The National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC), the Federal Chancellery's Digital Transformation and ICT Steering (DTI) Sector and the Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT), working together with Bug Bounty Switzerland AG, arranged for the Federal Administration's central access system, eIAM, to be tested for potential vulnerabilities by ethical hackers.

Week 41: Office 365 and SBB phishing – variations on a theme

17.10.2022 - The number of reports received by the NCSC was higher last week. Several interesting phishing attempts to obtain Office 365 access credentials were reported to the NCSC last week. In one case, an HTML file was attached to the phishing email instead of a phishing link. In another, the fraudulent link was embedded in a QR code. Furthermore, the NCSC also received reports of phishing attempts targeting SBB, in which the phishers tried to steal the SwissPass or SwissID access credentials.
