How Phishing-as-a-Service UPI Scam Kits Works
Overview: Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) UPI scam kits are a growing menace in India. These kits are sold or rented on dark web marketplaces and make it easy for even non-technical scammers to launch large-scale UPI credential theft campaigns. They automate fake website creation, data harvesting, and OTP/PIN interception, fueling a sharp rise in fraud targeting everyday Indians. How It Works: Criminals purchase or lease these scam kits online. Using the kit, they deploy thousands of fake websites or SMS/email campaigns mimicking banks and payment apps. Victims are lured into entering sensitive UPI information, which the kit instantly captures. In advanced cases, these kits can intercept OTPs or even biometric approvals. Once the credentials are stolen, fraudsters rapidly empty the victim’s account or resell the access on the dark web.
