An example of one of the redirects
This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 26th as part of a routine scan. It was initially detected by 11 vendors, and that number has not changed. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 10% risk assessment due to poor reputation.
This domain utilizes redirects to deliver malicious pages to the user. These pages vary in their contents, mainly having links to browser hijackers and other adware.

A user attempted to access this site on July 29th using ConcealBrowse. At present, 18 security vendors have categorized this domain as phishing, highlighting the potential threat it poses. ConcealBrowse identified the impersonation of the DocuSign brand on the site and assigned it a 14% risk score, indicating a moderate level of risk.
This phishing attempt likely came in the form of a fraudulent email informing the victim that there was a document that needed to be signed. These types of sites often fill in the victim’s email automatically, so a password is all that is required. This is done to make the login page appear more legitimate. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize fraudulent pages, as well as blocking keyboard input to keep credentials safe from phishing sites.
