Trend Micro researchers have been following a new type of a phishing campaign that utilizes the watering hole technique to acquire login credentials from victims.
Given the name “Soula”, this new campaign was found to target popular South Korean websites that are among the top 300 most visited in the country, and thus are considered especially trustworthy by their visitors.
The infection of the websites is done through the injection of a JavaScript code that initiates a step-by-step exploitation process, leading to the tricking of the user into inputting their credentials in a fraudulent form.
