Although it was initially not detected by any vendors, it was then detected by six and is now flagged by 15 for phishing activity.

This site is impersonating the login page for a popular online shopping brand. Online shopping accounts may contain information such as saved credit cards or an email address. This data can then be used to steal money from the victim or attempt to compromise other accounts connected to the same email address. While in an isolated session, ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input and users cannot enter their credentials.

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 5th. The main domain was first seen by security vendors last year, with five vendors reporting it as malicious. Currently, the page is detected by nine vendors for malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 20% risk score because of suspicious behavior.
Fake storefronts often take on the appearance of other popular brands to appear more convincing to the user. This site’s domain name is very similar to the legitimate brand, but upon further investigation, the deceptive site is registered to an entirely different organization. These scams may steal user’s money by failing to deliver the product or delivering an illegitimate version. While in isolation, users can interact with the site, but cannot type in any information necessary to make purchases.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 7th and has not yet been reported by any other security vendors. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 16% risk score, due to the detection of suspicious activity.
This site has been seen redirecting to a fake virus notification. These advertisements pretend to be legitimate anti-virus software companies, using legitimate brand names and logos to convince the user that their machine is infected. In this case, the site goes as far as to pretend to scan the user’s machine and find several instances of malware. This information may encourage the user to act quickly, giving out personal information to potential fraudulent sites. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize the deceptive nature of these sites to keep them and their information protected.
