This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 30th, a few days after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected on the 25th of September by 4 vendors, and now there are 17 vendors flagging this URL as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 22% risk score, citing potential privacy violations and phishing activity.
Using a deceptive verification page, this site tricks users into thinking that they are visiting the partner portal for a rental company, where they can manage their properties. These partner accounts contain sensitive customer data, such as full names, credit cards, and addresses that can then be used for fraud. A malicious actor may also impersonate the property owner, giving them the ability to steal more money from unsuspecting victims. ConcealBrowse’s intervention warns users about deceptive sites before they proceed, protecting them against phishing campaigns and scams.

This phishing page is impersonating a platform where users host listings for products that they want to sell. A malicious actor with access to credentials from this platform can acquire money by pretending to be a legitimate seller and utilizing social engineering techniques to get victims to pay money for products that don’t exist. These transactions are often made off-platform, making it difficult for the legitimate company’s support team to help victims. ConcealBrowse’s intervention prevents keyboard input while in isolation, protecting users from phishing pages.

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 27th after being initially detected by six security vendors. There are currently 19 vendors flagging this page due to malicious activity and phishing. ConcealBrowse successfully identified the brand impersonation and gave the site a 45% risk assessment.
This phishing page is requesting the secret phrases to a cryptocurrency wallet. To keep cryptocurrency as secure as possible, multiple word phrases are used instead of traditional passwords. A malicious actor with these secret recovery phrases automatically gains access to the wallet and all the funds inside of it, allowing them to transfer the money to another account that they control. Cryptocurrency is decentralized, making it nearly impossible to recover any funds lost in a phishing attack. ConcealBrowse’s intervention detects possible brand impersonations and stops users from entering any sensitive information while in isolation, keeping them protected.
