The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) issued a warning that fraudulent emails are being sent in the name of the FIN-FSA and its staff, with company executives described as a particular target. The regulator said recent attempts use modified email addresses designed to look as if they were sent from the FIN-FSA, making them difficult to distinguish from genuine messages. It advised recipients not to reply, click on any links, or open attachments, and to report suspected scams by contacting the FIN-FSA through a different channel rather than using contact details provided in the message.
