How Bad Actors Adapt to Advanced Techniques
Superfake Phishing Websites
Traditional methods for creating look-alike websites with visible flaws are fading in the AI-driven era. AI-Clone sites, with convincing resemblance and stealthy domain names, can now be generated in minutes.
The rise of superfake AI-generated sites is posing significant challenges for brand protection teams, causing a notable increase in cases and significant financial losses.
Homograph Phishing Attack
Apart from typosquatting or combosquatting, which uses mis-spelled characters or word combination, homograph phishing replicates legitimate brand sites using similar characters, including non-standard ones.
For instance, 'L ᴑ gin.com' uses the Latin small letter sideways ' ᴑ ‘ (U+1D11), visually identical to the standard English letter ‘o’ (ASCII: 111). This presents considerable risks to deceive users into disclosing credentials, financial information, or downloading malware.
Pharming / Website Redirect
In advanced attacks, phishers may install malicious programs such as pharming malware to intercept your customers en route to your official websites and redirect them to fraudulent ones without their knowledge. This manipulation is typically accomplished through DNS spoofing, a sneaky technique where attackers trick customers’ devices going to the wrong website.
