The Venezuelan government carries out a phishing attack via CANTV against the VoluntariosXVenezuela platform and exposes registrants' data

In February 2019, the state-owned ISP CANTV (using infrastructure from Movilnet and CONATEL) manipulated DNS responses to redirect users of the opposition-backed humanitarian aid platform voluntariosxvenezuela.com to an almost identical phishing clone (voluntariovenezuela.com) that collected names, ID numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers. Days later, pro-government accounts published the personal data of those who had registered, which DFRLab cross-referenced with the CNE’s voter registry. Conservative estimates suggest there were tens of thousands of victims.
