This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 4th, the same day that other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by 19 vendors and is now detected by 21 for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 42% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.

This is a phishing site that is likely a part of a larger scam to attempt to harvest financial information and banking details from a victim. Threat actors will commonly spin-up sites to
fraudulent investment platforms, prompting the victim to enter their information or create a fake account. These scams usually run long-term, using social engineering to take as much
money as possible from the victim before taking the site down and ceasing contact. ConcealBrowse’s intervention alerts users of deceptive sites before they proceed, ensuring that
they are protected against complex scams.

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 6th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by five vendors and is now currently flagged by 15
vendors for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 75% risk assessment after positively identifying the brand impersonation.

The goal of this page is to impersonate the customer support center for a popular social media brand. Victims of this type of attack receive messages from hijacked or fraudulent support
emails, informing them that they must file an appeal to restore access back to their account. The appeal will include sensitive information, such as the username and password of the
affected account, which will then be stolen by the malicious actors. The stolen account can then be exploited, allowing for the spread of similar attacks. ConcealBrowse prevents all
keyboard input in isolation, protecting users’ sensitive information.

This site was first seen by ConcealBrowse on November 6th, after security vendors began reporting on it in October. Initially, there were eight vendors reporting the site as phishing,
and there are now 20 vendors doing the same. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 48% risk assessment after detecting potential phishing behavior.

This page is impersonating a cryptocurrency service to gain access to a victim’s wallet. Cryptocurrency wallets are protected by a passphrase designed to make it difficult for an
unauthorized user to gain access. However, by using realistic site characteristics and accompanying phishing messages, victims can be tricked into giving up their recovery
phrase and therefore the contents of their wallet. ConcealBrowse’s intervention alerts users of possible phishing sites to keep their information and finances protected.
