Week 46: How scammers exploit the "Swissness factor"

18.11.2025 - There have been an increasing number of reports in recent weeks of scam websites claiming to belong to real Swiss companies. The affected companies often do not have their own website but are listed in the ZEFIX commercial register. Companies with a web presence can also be targeted.
