Several Bouygues Telecom customers are starting to receive an apparently legitimate SMS, but which could be an attempted scam. Here’s what it looks like so you can identify it.
Almost inevitable. After the massive hacking of Bouygues Telecom where the operator was stolen from more than 6 million customer data, it was likely that the latter were used by cybercriminals. Each event of this kind, we must expect the launch of large phishing campaigns by email or by SMS.
We feared the same thing with Free End of 2024 following the theft of 19 million customer information. You must therefore be particularly vigilant if you receive an SMS from your operator that you do not expect. Like the one received a surfer a short time ago. It is an SMS relating to the installation of the fiber. He had the right reflex to post a screenshot on X (Twitter) to alert a maximum of people. Let’s see it in detail.
Beware of this Bouygues Telecom SMS, it is possibly an attempted scam
SMS can be read as follows: “It happens! Your technician, is on the way for your Bbox Fiber appointment. Do you want to know where he is currently? Follow it directly on your Bouygues Telecom customer area application by clicking on geolocation url clicking on“, Followed by a link. What immediately strikes are the errors it contains: too much in excess”technician“, Missing space between“geolocation” et “on“, Then rehearsal of“by clicking on“.
Bouygues Telecom confirmed to us that the Bouyguestelecom2.my.site.com URL is legitimate. It is used to inform the subscriber who must benefit from an intervention of the time at which the technician will arrive at his home. According to the operator, the page on which the subscriber arrives “does not require communication of personal information at any time“. If this is the case, you know it is fraud.
The cybercriminals will directly recover the information entered and will be able to use it for fraudulent purposes. For example Sim swapping to steal your phone numberet in fine Your money. If in doubt, do not click and contact Bouygues Telecom customer service. This remains the safest solution.
