SHA-256: dc5fab4da3f7e2052eafe20fb42785e07bc67b54bb1444ec51947c48ab17a3b5

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 10th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by five vendors and is now currently detected by over twenty due to phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 14% risk score, warning users that the site is suspicious.

The brand being impersonated is a popular site used to verify identification and store biometric data. After the credentials have been stolen, a malicious actor could use the information stored inside to commit identity theft. This could have devastating long-term consequences for the victim, and personal information is usually not able to be changed. ConcealBrowse blocks all keyboard input while in isolation, keeping users from entering their credentials into phishing sites.

browser-based threat 7.15.24

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 15th. It was initially detected by two security vendors on July 13th and is currently detected by 19 vendors. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 14% risk score due to suspicious activity.

Prior to its removal, this domain was hosting a phishing page that utilizes typosquatting. Typosquatting is a technique that relies on users incorrectly typing in a website URL into their browser. Malicious actors register these common misspellings and use them to host believable phishing pages. Unsuspecting users that don’t notice their mistake are more likely to enter their credentials into the site, compromising the targeted account. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users quickly recognize the error and ensures that their credentials remain protected.

browser-based threat 7.15.24

Having first been seen by security vendors starting in April, this site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 9th. Initially, it was only detected by 4 vendors; now, it is flagged by 11 vendors for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 25% risk assessment after identifying the cryptocurrency brand impersonation.

This site impersonates a popular cryptocurrency platform, giving the option for unsuspecting users to connect any of their wallets to manage them all in one place. However, once the wallet has been connected, a malicious actor can then withdraw all the funds and transfer them to their own wallets. Given the nature of how cryptocurrency operates, it is not possible to reverse the transaction and the user’s funds will be lost. ConcealBrowse’s intervention prevents users from entering wallet data into the suspicious sites, keeping their funds protected.
