Researchers at Cyren have discovered a phishing scam targeting banking and digital payment customers worldwide.

According to researchers, the targeted platforms include online banking customers of Capital One, Chase, Fargo, Wells and online money transfer giant PayPal and Venmo.

The new phishing campaign carries the same old method of tricking users into clicking on an attachment file, but this time the attached HTML file is embedded with data URLs.
