ECOS M company suffered a phishing attack. The scammers, on behalf of ECOS M, tried to steal the clients personal information and savings. They used private Telegram messages to inform the users about a nonexistent ECOS ICO and offered to receive 1000 tokens for free. Thanks to the company's security system and the prompt response of the team, not a single client was hurt. The fake resource was blocked within an hour.
 The scammers revealed the information in the Internet about the release of the ECOS M own token on the ERC-20 platform. The spam mailing stated that ECOS has already been testing the token, and any user of the service can get it almost for free. The cost of 1 token was set at $ 0.2 and to receive it the client was asked to go to his personal account through an external domain address.

ECOS M disclaims the information:
“The so-called ECOS ICO, acting on behalf of ECOS, are scammers! Be aware that ECOS has not released any tokens! We continue to mine only bitcoins! Do not register on any external “ECOS” web sites! Our main domain for registration is still mining.ecos.am"

The aim of the criminals was to steal the clients credentials and then to withdraw their mined bitcoins.

 The technical specialists of ECOS M were able to quickly restrict the activity of the phishing platform, and ECOS M management, together with law enforcement agencies, has already started the prosecution.
 
“We are proud of our team and the reliability of the ECOS M personal wallet system. This situation has shown once again that any attempts of external attacks are absolutely useless and are very quickly repelled,” said Ilya Goldberg, Managing Partner of ECOS M.
The professionalism of the company's specialists as well as the invulnerability of the ECOS M platform helped to significantly increase the clients confidence.

But the company warns its customers to be more careful and vigilant and not to disclose their credentials and any other sensitive information to the third parties!
