SHA-256: 3074a00c33a6892ee549ced168872d8ffb9c78fe10f47cea0921aed8ac60d6ee
This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 14th, after being seen by security vendors the day before. It was initially detected by nine vendors, and now there are 18 vendors
flagging the site for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 68% risk score due to privacy risks and poor site reputation.
Credentials stolen from this phishing page can be used by malicious actors to gain access into the account associated with the victim’s phone, which hold sensitive information such as saved
payment methods, location data, and personal notes. Malicious actors may also pose as the victim to members of the victim’s contact list. This will allow them to carry out more phishing
attacks by utilizing social engineering, continuing the chain of compromise. While in an isolated session, ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input, so users cannot enter their credentials
into suspicious sites

SHA-256: fa01255b22decfc91009e318ac84d8ef51b3f2dac9c50127453954a4bbd251b9
This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 13th, the same day other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by only one vendor, and there are now seven
vendors flagging the site for malicious activity and phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 30% risk score due to suspicious behavior.
This is a fake verification page that attempts to trick the victim into downloading malware onto their machine. If they were to run the command pasted to their clipboard, it would install
a type of malware known as a stealer onto their machine. Stealers look for credentials, such as those saved in browsers, resulting in the compromise of several accounts belonging to the
same victim. ConcealBrowse’s isolation prevents the command from being pasted to the user’s clipboard, keeping the malware from being executed.

This site was first seen by ConcealBrowse on November 13th after being observed by security vendors in October. It was initially detected by six vendors, and now there are 12 vendors
reporting the site as both malicious and phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 38% risk assessment, citing suspicious activity.
This page is attempting to steal email credentials. Malicious actors will send email messages containing links to an intended victim, often using urgent language to convince the user to
click on the link quickly. Once the user clicks on the link, they will be brought to a fraudulent login page requesting that they verify their identity before proceeding, harvesting the
credentials entered on the page. ConcealBrowse’s intervention warns users of suspicious pages before they continue, and blocks keyboard input to stop phishing attacks.
