Hackers impersonate Tencent to set up fraudulent websites and use the pretext of earthquake disasters to amass wealth

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 16th (reported by Hong Gu) - Recently, Rising Company monitored a phishing website that took advantage of the Sichuan earthquake disaster to defraud money. The website mimicked Tencent's Charity Channel with the title "Tencent Public Welfare Charity Foundation jointly with the Chinese Red Cross Society and Jet Li's One Foundation Plan for the urgent fundraising for the 5·12 Sichuan Earthquake". In reality, this was a "phishing" website set up by hackers, and the donation account numbers they provided were also fake. Security experts from Rising reminded netizens to be more cautious when showing their love and kindness so as not to be deceived by counterfeit websites.
