New Chinese criminal software 'Darcula' tricking consumers into falling for fake websites
Peter Davis was unwinding with friends and red wine on a Friday evening in October last year when everyone got hungry. "We soon started to think about pizza," he said. The 55-year-old looked up his favourite pizza joint — Crust Pizza — via Google and clicked on the first result, which happened to be a sponsored result. He logged into his Crust account, and the site showed him he had earned a free pizza for his loyalty. Mr Davis ordered two pizzas for about $25. It took so long that he thought the transaction would time out, and he would have to do it all over again. "At that moment, my ANZ bank app sprang to life and notified me of a transaction to authorise," he said. He quickly clicked on the app and approved the transaction. But the payment processing wheel kept spinning on the website. Another notification from his ANZ app told him his payment had gone through. Except it was a payment of $570.93, and it had gone to a business called Soax Ltd London. The ANZ app gave him the option to dispute the transaction, but a message told him the payment was pending and could not be disputed until it was complete, which he thought was good news. "If it's pending, surely I can contact ANZ staff and they can stop the scam from completing," Mr Davis said. He spent the next few hours ringing any ANZ support number he could find, with little success. "I got through to a human in one instance, and she reiterated that she could do nothing while the transaction was pending, but gave me another emergency number," he said. "This other number did not answer, did not have a message bank, and just rang out when called." Mr Davis said he had to give up eventually and go to bed. On Sunday, the $570.93 transaction went through. He immediately raised the dispute in the ANZ app and explained he had been scammed via a Crust Pizza website. His theory at the time was that Crust Pizza had been hacked. The ANZ disputes team replied to Mr Davis a few days later and said that, because the transaction was authenticated using 'Verified by Visa' and approved with the ANZ Plus app, the bank could not "classify the above transaction as fraudulent" and was "unable to return the money". "Because I had authorised the transaction, that was the end of it," Mr Davis said. But he wouldn't let it go. He found Visa's merchant guidelines document that listed the accepted grounds and circumstances for a charge-back. "While it did seem my grounds were somehow not sufficient for a charge-back, in another respect, they were very sufficient," he said. He figured out that if he had disputed the charge based on 'payment made, but goods not received', he could get his money back. So, he opened a new dispute with ANZ. ANZ called him, he said, to warn him about changing his story. "At the time of the transaction, I genuinely thought I paid for pizzas that would be delivered. Later, I learned [it was a scam], but it was all still theory at [that] stage, so my new dispute was based on what I knew at the time of the transaction," he said. The bank agreed to process the dispute with Visa. But he needed to show evidence he had contacted the merchant for a refund. "The problem here is that there was no merchant, only scammers," he said. He tried to find the scam website again, but it had disappeared. Instead, the URL sent people to a YouTube video of Rick Astley singing Never Going To Give You Up. His bank account showed he had paid the almost $571 to a company called Soax Ltd London, which was a real company providing software services in the United Kingdom. The company had a website with an email address on it. A few days later, a response dropped into his inbox that said the company had found the account associated with the pizza payment, and it was going to refund Mr Davis the full amount. ANZ said it would not comment on the case. Mr Davis said he was left with lingering questions about the responsibility of Google when it came to fake website scams. They took money from a scammer to list a fake website at the top position in their search results. He also sent a complaint to Google's support team about the scam site being the first search result he was offered, but only received back a message that said: Google "has received information that your credit card details may have been compromised and you should remove this card from your Google wallet". A spokesperson from Google wrote in a statement that the company investigated the domain and could not find ads associated with it. They said on average, 90 per cent of ads on Google results were from verified advertisers, and the company reviewed ads for violations using artificial intelligence and human reviewers. The Soax company in the UK had been used by the scammers to hide their IP address and location, which allowed them to evade detection. It would have also helped the scammers harvest data from the legitimate Crust Pizza websites to make their fake site look authentic. It is a scam technique that has become easier for criminals to pull off thanks to Chinese software provider 'Darcula V3', a sophisticated subscription service that uses the software Magic Cat to duplicate legitimate websites. Brett Winterford, head of global threat intelligence at data security company Okta, said Darcula was an example of new and sophisticated 'phishing-as-a-service'. "[It's] marketed in cybercrime forums that provide attackers with rented access to phishing infrastructure required to launch phishing campaigns," he said. Phishing is when a scammer uses fake websites, texts, or emails to persuade someone to give up personal information. It's also called "social engineering" and is one of the top five scams targeting Australians. Mr Winterford said Darcula was one of several phishing-as-a-service kits that used generative artificial intelligence to mimic real websites. "Darcula [offers] a DIY phishing kit that can clone any brand's website," he said. Mr Winterford said the latest phishing software was challenging to defend against. "Organisations cannot rely exclusively on email content filtering or the services of telecommunications providers to block phishing lures," he said. "Darcula lures are sent to targets using messaging services like Rich Communication Service (RCS) and iMessage, rather than email or SMS." Using RCS and iMessage allows scammers to bypass SMS firewalls and spam filters and reach more potential victims. The only reliable defence against these services is password-less, phishing-resistant authentication. Mr Winterbone said passkey protection was a reliable way people could protect themselves against fake websites because passkeys only worked with the original domain and would not work with a fake domain. "If I registered my key with myGov, for example, my passkey will only work for and not for any other domain," he said. "Every Australian should demand that their online service providers introduce passkeys as an optional method of authentication, with a long-term plan to phase out passwords altogether."
