A sophisticated phishing campaign using copies of pages from the GOV.UK website is being used to target businesses and consumers, security researchers have warned.

The campaign, dubbed "NotGOV" by analysts at security vendor Kaspersky, has the potential to affect thousands of users by luring them illegitimate pages for services including tax returns, export licence applications, and cost of living payment support forms. Victims are sent bogus phishing emails, purporting to be from government departments and directing them to the malicious pages.
