Over the last couple of days, we have been seeing a number of quite credibly looking phishing emails that impersonate toll-road providers in the US. The agency affected by the current wave is E-ZPass, a toll charging system used mainly in the Northeast. Adapting the template to match the colors and fonts of other organizations, like Florida's SunPass, would be easy to accomplish for the scammers though, so chances are that we will see more of this.

Since toll road agencies can impose stiff fines for violations or if road and bridge charges are not paid in time, people might fall for it and click on the link just to make sure. In the samples at hand, the link was pointing to www . ruckon . pl (spaces added to de-fang), and returned a ZIP with an EXE or directly an EXE. Hat tip to ISC reader Wayne for providing the latest sample.

If you receive similar emails that impersonate other toll road providers, please let us know.
