Profile narrative
Vishers, also known as the Vishers alias, is a threat actor tracked operating from the United States. The actor has been observed targeting the financial sector, specifically wealth‑management clients, with the objective of financial gain through unauthorized fund transfers. Their tactics involve voice phishing (vishing) calls that impersonate legitimate institutions to obtain online account credentials, followed by the use of the Zelle payment service to move stolen funds. No malware families or specific tooling suites are referenced in the reporting, and no public attribution links the actor to a state sponsor or known criminal consortium. The Morgan Stanley Wealth Management incident of February 2022, in which clients’ accounts were compromised via vishing and subsequent Zelle transfers, serves as a representative example of their activity.
