FEDA, Andorra's public energy utility, has alerted customers to a phishing campaign involving fake emails that impersonate the company to harvest personal and banking data.
The fraudulent messages notify recipients of an alleged returned payment due to insufficient funds, pressing them to settle the amount promptly to prevent supply suspension. Each email features a "pay the bill" link that leads to a bogus website capturing sensitive information.
In a social media post, FEDA stressed that it never asks clients to input banking details through links in unsolicited emails. The utility recommended verifying the sender's full email address—not just the display name—and ensuring any URL matches its official domain. Users should ignore links in messages that drum up urgency or warn of immediate cut-offs, refrain from entering credentials, and delete suspicious emails outright. Anyone unsure should reach out via official channels.
The company outlined additional phishing detection tips, such as distrusting threats of service interruptions and avoiding replies to dubious correspondence.
FEDA issued the warning on Monday, August 18, 2026, and is tracking the ongoing effort. No information has emerged on its reach or victim numbers.
