This page is being hosted by scammers impersonating a marketing company. The domain name used has similarities to a legitimate domain owned by the brand, as well as using matching logos and layout to make the page more convincing. The threat actors have set up a fake customer service account as well, to instruct victims to pay money for the fraudulent services. ConcealBrowse recognizes potential phishing pages and prevents keyboard input to assist users in recognizing scams before monetary loss can occur.

This site was first seen by ConcealBrowse on November 21st, after initially being detected by security vendors in August. It was first detected by three vendors, and now there are 22 vendors reporting the page as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 76% risk score due to poor site reputation and possible phishing activity.
This link is involved in a cryptocurrency scam that attempts to get users to transfer currency to fraudulent accounts under the assumption that they will receive returns on their investments. To make the scam appear legitimate, these sites will only open in a cryptocurrency wallet application. This makes it more likely that a user will trust its contents. ConcealBrowse’s intervention warns users of suspicious sites before they proceed, protecting them against these types of investment scams.

This site was first seen by ConcealBrowse on November 21st after being detected by security vendors a few months prior. It was initially reported by four security vendors, and now there are 19 vendors flagging the page for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 32% risk score, citing suspicious activity, privacy violations, and poor site reputation.
This page is impersonating a phone service company. Threat actors can use credentials harvested from this phishing attack to access payment plans, along with phone data and personal information. This data can then be abused to register the victim for new phone lines, deactivating their current phones and causing fraudulent charges to appear on statements. Additionally, the email associated with the victim’s account can be modified, preventing them from accessing it to make changes. ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in isolation, protecting users against credential theft.
