A sophisticated phishing toolkit dubbed “Spiderman” has emerged as a significant threat to European banking customers, enabling cybercriminals to create convincing fake login pages for dozens of financial institutions with just a few clicks.
This development marks a dangerous evolution in phishing-as-a-service operations targeting the financial sector.
Professional Phishing Framework Targets Multiple Countries
The Spiderman phishing kit stands out for its comprehensive approach, consolidating login page templates for numerous European banks and cryptocurrency platforms into a single, user-friendly interface.
Unlike traditional phishing kits that focus on individual institutions, Spiderman provides attackers with ready-made clones for major banks across five countries, including Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, ING, and CaixaBank.
Security researchers have identified approximately 750 members in a Signal messenger group associated with the toolkit’s seller, indicating widespread distribution and active usage across the cybercriminal community.
This scale suggests the kit is already being deployed in large-scale phishing campaigns throughout Europe.
What makes Spiderman particularly dangerous is its level of automation. Attackers no longer need web development expertise or technical knowledge to launch sophisticated phishing operations.
The kit’s streamlined process allows criminals to select a target bank, generate a pixel-perfect replica of its login page, and deploy phishing campaigns within minutes.
The toolkit features a comprehensive control panel that monitors victim sessions in real time, capturing usernames, passwords, credit card details, PhotoTAN codes, and personal identification information.
According to Varonis, this multi-step approach is specifically designed to bypass European banking security measures, including two-factor authentication systems.
Spiderman incorporates sophisticated anti-detection capabilities, including country allowlisting, ISP filtering, and device-type restrictions.
These features help attackers evade security scanners and automated detection tools by blocking traffic from data centers, VPNs, and research organizations.
The kit also targets cryptocurrency users, with dedicated modules for harvesting seed phrases from Ledger, MetaMask, and Exodus wallets, signaling a shift toward hybrid banking and crypto-fraud operations.
