Sahana Naya scam: CERT issues public warning

28 Apr 2020

The Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) has issued a warning regarding a phishing scam via email. CERT Information Security Engineer Ravindu Meegasmulla told The Morning that a Google Document is being circulated called “Sahana Naya 2020” where the scammers pose as the Credit Information Bureau of Sri Lanka (CRIB) offering low-interest loans. Meegasmulla said that the scam was aimed at collecting the personal data of unsuspecting victims. “The Google Doc asks users to fill out a form with detailed personal information such as the ID (identification) number, passport number, date of birth, etc., which can be used for various other crimes,” he said. He said that such information can be used to create fake accounts in banks or other financial institutions. “Some people use the NIC (National Identity Card) (number) or date of birth as passwords, so the scammers can use the data collected to form a password table.” He said that the CRIB has confirmed that this was a scam. – Skandha Gunasekara
