the form of drive-by attacks, phishing portals, and other threats that materialize while browsing.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of November 18th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

_____________

 

SHA-256: 1f57da83eb308d1361e1bbcd3d13fd5e5dbc98294f87866177e01a20b31af8a3

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 21st, the same day other security vendors started reporting. It was initially detected by one vendor for phishing and another for suspicious behavior, and that has not changed as of this writing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 30% risk score, citing suspicious behavior.

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.

SHA-256: 8fd3af3090d6e31758d488e2b36028cd5a309ac82998056fd5a6d64eb50210fb

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.

SHA-256: d66e76ff8abd6bf4c887d75f71935516e0b2d5a32f0fc49fb137a9c7d6c3ea22

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.

Browser-Based Threat Report

Week of November 18th, 2024

ConcealBrowse is leveraged by teams across the world to combat against weaponized URLs. The technology is constantly analyzing suspicious web artifacts to identify risk in
the form of drive-by attacks, phishing portals, and other threats that materialize while browsing.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of November 18th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

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.

Browser-Based Threat Report

Week of November 11th, 2024

ConcealBrowse is leveraged by teams across the world to combat against weaponized URLs. The technology is constantly analyzing suspicious web artifacts to identify risk in
the form of drive-by attacks, phishing portals, and other threats that materialize while browsing.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of November 11th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

SHA-256: 0e7eadeeddd91b7f4015bb80ba606c32d4fc0863f063068b1bd6b0eb737323cc

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.

SHA-256: 702449ee8d69d23dadd37732a8eb400d5a6cf0c952616a79d1381c0c64f0e148

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.

Browser-Based Threat Report

Week of November 4th, 2024

ConcealBrowse is leveraged by teams across the world to combat against weaponized URLs. The technology is constantly analyzing suspicious web artifacts to identify risk in
the form of drive-by attacks, phishing portals, and other threats that materialize while browsing.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of November 4th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

_____________

 

SHA-256: 3cc1badaf474652682b537310b01a6934dcf7c3a52352746a9e492558007b950

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on October 29th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by 12 vendors, and there are currently 21 vendors
reporting this page for phishing and malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 31% risk assessment, citing poor site reputation and suspicious behavior.

This site is impersonating the postal service as part of a parcel delivery scam. This scam operates by sending a message to a potential victim, explaining that an attempted delivery
failed due to an incorrect address. If the victim clicks on the link and proceeds past the screen pictured, the malicious actors will then attempt to gather personal information and payment
details. These phishing pages tend to appear very realistic, highlighting the importance of ConcealBrowse’s intervention to warn users that the site is deceptive.

SHA-256: 31a7f16d26fef46cf77ee2c3b3b339de676edffeabd2a81d4f7fb85648213948

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on November 1st, the same day other security vendors began reporting. It was detected by two vendors, and that number has not changed.
ConcealBrowse intervened with a 10% risk score due to suspicious activity.
Malicious actors attempting to steal credentials from employees will often create phishing pages that are already personalized to the company and the user being targeted. In this case,
this page contains the logo of the company and is pre-filled with the targeted user’s email address. These two elements make it more likely that the user will enter their password
without verifying the page’s authenticity, compromising their account. ConcealBrowse’s intervention warns users of fraudulent login pages before they proceed, and blocks keyboard
input in isolation to keep their sensitive data protected.

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on November 4th, a few weeks after security vendors started reporting it. It was initially reported by one vendor for phishing, and is now
currently flagged by five for malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 30% risk score, citing suspicious behavior.

This domain has been seen distributing downloads to adware. Adware infects machines with pop-ups and directs users to unwanted sites. This decreases productivity by consuming
system resources, puts user browser privacy at risk, and puts users’ information at risk by redirecting them to potentially harmful sites. Seeing these sites appearing frequently in the
ConcealBrowse dashboard could be an indicator of infection and should be investigated further.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of October 28th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

_____________

browser-based threat 10.28.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on October 23rd after being detected by 17 security vendors. Currently, there are 18 vendors flagging the page for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 20% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.

Threat actors will often abuse legitimate website creation platforms to create and distribute phishing sites. These platforms often offer low-cost domains, allowing for malicious sites to be spun up quickly. If users are not paying attention to the domain name or other traits on the page itself, such as the banner at the top, it can be easy to be convinced that the site is legitimate. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize phishing sites quickly and protects their credentials by blocking keyboard input on sites in isolation.

browser-based threat 10.28.24

 This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 25th after being detected by security vendors earlier last month. It was initially detected by just one vendor, and now there are 18 vendors reporting the page as malicious. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 33% risk assessment after identifying a possible brand impersonation.

This is a phishing page for a popular messaging platform, likely to use the harvested credentials in social engineering attacks or scams. The threat actor will assume the identity of the victim on the compromised account and begin sending messages to users on the victim’s contact list. This method is often used to send out scams looking for money, or it can be used to compromise other accounts. ConcealBrowse’s intervention recognizes potential phishing sites and warns users before they proceed, keeping their credentials safe.

browser-threat-report 10.28.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 25th, after being reported 15 security vendors. There are currently 16 vendors reporting this page for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 22% risk score due to suspicious activity on the page.

Technical support scams are a popular way for malicious actors to steal money from victims by impersonating the customer service teams of popular companies. These sites are accompanied by alarming noises and pop-ups, and often force the victim’s browser into full screen. This makes the page appear more convincing and conveys a sense of urgency for the problem to be resolved. ConcealBrowse’s intervention prevents users from being forced into full screen, allowing them to recognize that the site is fraudulent before they continue.

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on October 16th, the same day other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by three vendors, and that number has not changed. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 73% risk assessment due to privacy violations and suspicious behavior.

This domain has been previously associated with the distribution of a malware designed to steal banking information and distribute ransomware. Malware often has devasting consequences for an organization, as viruses can spread through networks and infect several devices at a time. While this site no longer has indicators of being compromised, it should still be avoided due to the possibility of reinfection. ConcealBrowse’s intervention warns users of potentially dangerous sites before they proceed to protect them against compromise.

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 17th, a few days after security vendors began reporting. There are currently 10 vendors reporting this page for malware and phishing, as well as spam. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 19% risk assessment due to poor site reputation and suspicious behavior.

This domain has been associated with phishing campaigns impersonating an online meeting platform. The victim will receive an email that pretends to be a meeting invite, providing the link required to join. The phishing page will then request that the victim enter their email credentials before continuing, leading to account compromise. ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in isolation, preventing users from entering sensitive information into fraudulent sites.

This page is impersonating a popular online shopping platform. Fake shopping sites are often used to steal payment details and other sensitive information from victims, allowing for fraudulent transactions to be completed. Victims may or may not receive actual products when ordering off these sites, and if they do, it will not be the same item pictured online. ConcealBrowse helps users recognize deceptive sites and brand impersonation before they proceed, ensuring that they do not fall victim to scams.

browser-based threat 10.14.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on October 7th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It is currently detected by 16 vendors for phishing activity. ConcealBrowse  intervened with a 37% risk assessment, citing the brand impersonation and poor site reputation.

This is a phishing page impersonating an online store brand, putting the victim at risk for theft of both their store library and payment information. The page is crafted with heavy discounts on several items, designed to entice the user to enter their credentials without verifying its authenticity. These credentials contain access to the entire library of previously purchased games from the user, allowing malicious actors to change the password and keep the library for themselves. ConcealBrowse’s intervention recognizes brand impersonation and isolates suspicious websites to keep users protected.

browser-based threat 10.14.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 9th, two days after security vendors began reporting. Currently, there are 13 vendors flagging this page for phishing and malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 30% risk score due to suspicious behavior on the website.

This site is hosting a fraudulent customer support page. Often, these sites are accompanied by alarming messages alerting the user that their account has been locked, or a payment has not properly processed. The purpose of these alerts is to prompt immediate action from the user before they can verify if the activity is legitimate. Once the user contacts the support number, malicious actors will use Social Engineering methods to attempt to steal credentials, financial information, or other sensitive data. ConcealBrowse’s intervention recognizes deceptive pages, warning users before they proceed and keeping their data protected.

browser-threat-report 10.14.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 11th, a few months after initial flags by security vendors. There are eighteen vendors flagging the page due to malicious activity and phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 30% risk score, citing a possible brand impersonation and phishing attempt.

Instead of immediately asking for a password, this phishing page initially requests only the email address of the potential victim. This information is often used to verify that only the intended target can access the final phishing page as a way to evade detection by security vendors. In this case, the email is used to customize the final login page, making it appear more realistic. ConcealBrowse’s intervention blocks all keyboard input, making it impossible for a user to enter their email address or interact with the fraudulent login.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of October 7th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

The following report highlights recently detected sites that were deemed suspicious:

browser-based threat 10.7.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on October 1st, a few days after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by 11 vendors, and now has 23 vendors reporting it as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 35% risk assessment, due to identifying the brand impersonation and potential privacy violations.

This is a phishing page that utilizes a verification system to attempt to bypass security vendors. By making the user enter in the solution to the equation on the screen, the site is preventing automated scanners from seeing the credential harvesting attempts. This can allow the site to stay up for longer, granting more opportunities for malicious actors to steal credentials. ConcealBrowse’s intervention prevents keyboard input while in isolation, preventing users from passing the fraudulent verification system.

browser-based threat 10.7.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 1st, the same day other security vendors began reporting. While the initial site was not detected by any security vendors, the URL linked on the form was detected by 8 vendors for malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened on the linked URL with an 11% risk score.

Malicious actors will sometimes use legitimate sites to distribute malicious content, such as forms or document sharing platforms. These sites are less likely to be blocked by traditional security tools and appear trustworthy to unsuspecting users. The link inside the form leads to a cryptocurrency phishing page, potentially resulting in great financial losses for the victims. ConcealBrowse scans every URL visited to intervene on dangerous sites regardless of origin to keep users protected.

browser-threat-report 10.7.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 7th, a few weeks after security vendors began reporting. It was initially only detected by one vendor, but currently there are 15 vendors reporting this page as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 37% risk score after detecting the suspected phishing attempt.

This phishing page is looking to steal email credentials, most likely those tied to a professional organization. Compromised email accounts in organizations often lead to the loss of sensitive data, as well as further phishing campaigns against members of the same organization. Depending on the level of privilege the compromised user had, threat actors can also use their credentials to cause significant damage to systems in the form of malware installations. While in isolation, ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input to stop phishing attempts from being successful.
