Malicious phishing attempt at impersonating SL Central Bank

News

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CB) said on Friday that a phishing attempt has been initiated targeting mainly the financial institutions of Sri Lanka and the phishing emails appear to be sent from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Department of the CB with the subject “Notice From Central Bank Of Sri Lanka EPF".

The content of the email, the CBSL said, was reported to “be with links to malicious web sites and downloadable malicious software”.

The CB informed the general public and institutions that the EPF Department of CB has not sent out such emails. “The public and institutions are advised to be alert of this ongoing phishing attempt and not open suspicious emails with the subject “Notice From Central Bank Of Sri Lanka EPF" or open its attachments or click on any of its links,” it said. - ENDS -
