Online fraud: Luxembourg faces rising phishing threat
The Grand Duchy has been suffering from a wave of phishing attacks for several weeks, according to Le Quotidien. Fake emails in the name of the City of Luxembourg, a fake Payconiq to Wero update, fake Luxtrust employees, a fake website for the Centre de gestion informatique de l'éducation and fake couriers are among the tactics identified.
Phishing — or email spoofing — is an online fraud technique by which cybercriminals impersonate a trusted entity in order to steal confidential information, banking data or commit identity theft.
Bee Secure, the platform dedicated to digital security and education managed by the Ministry of Education, recorded 166 phishing-related reports between January and September 2026 via its Helpline. Faced with increasingly sophisticated methods, the platform is calling on the entire population — across all age groups — to adopt a few simple reflexes to limit the risks.
