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.

Week of October 28th, 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 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.

browser-based threat 10.21.24

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 site was detected by ConcealBrowse on October 15th, the day after security vendors began  reporting. Currently, there are 17 vendors reporting this page for phishing and malicious  behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 29% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.

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.

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.

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.

browser-based threat 09.30.24

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.

SHA-256: 28495512525573335d6146a3185e691207f767823973a74819d58d17bdc30f3f

browser-based threat 09.23.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on September 30th, having been detected by security vendors early in the year. Currently, there are 19 vendors flagging this page for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 51% risk assessment after detecting suspicious behavior on the site.

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.

browser threat report 09.30.24

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.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of September 23rd, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

browser-based threat 09.23.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 17th, having been reported by other security vendors on the same day. While this site was only detected by one security vendor, its final URL was detected by 11. ConcealBrowse intervened on the end page with a 40% risk score due to suspicious behavior.

This is a phishing page that utilizes evasive techniques to avoid detection by security vendors. Many security vendors put URLs into automated environments to scan them for any malicious activity. In response to this, threat actors will create empty sites that only contain human verification widgets before allowing the user to be directed to the end page. These techniques also allow the phishing page to remain active for longer, potentially causing more users to fall victim to it. ConcealBrowse scans every URL, including redirects, to effectively protect users against phishing attempts.

browser-based threat 09.23.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on September 18th, the same day other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by 15 vendors, and as of this writing there have been two additional vendors reporting this site for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 27% risk score due to possible phishing and suspicious activity.

This phishing page is impersonating the support page for a social media platform. These sites serve as a step in a larger scam to gather money or credentials from potential victims. Threat actors will contact the victim after they have given their information to this site, giving them further instructions on how to allegedly regain access to their account. A compromised social media account, especially one of a prominent figure, can be used to phish other users with social engineering techniques. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize the deceptive nature of fraudulent sites before they can proceed.

browser threat report 09.23.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 16th at the same time as other security vendors. It was initially flagged by 12 vendors, and now there are 15 vendors detecting this page as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 25% risk score due to possible privacy violations and suspicious behavior.

This page is impersonating a login page for a popular bank. Messages about issues with transactions or bank accounts are often given immediate attention by users, which makes them vulnerable to potential threat actors impersonating banks. These threat actors utilize social engineering techniques, alongside convincing phishing pages, to harvest both the credentials of the bank account and any multifactor authentication codes associated with it. ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in isolation to protect users against credential harvesting.

browser-based threat 09.16.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on September 10th, the same day other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by four vendors and is now being flagged by eight for phishing. ConcealBrowse successfully identified the phishing attempt with a 33% risk assessment due to the possible brand impersonation.

This site is attempting to steal email credentials using a fake invoice. Invoices are typically used by threat actors due to their urgent nature, encouraging victims to click the link without verifying its authenticity. Additionally, the messaging associated with the phishing email may contain alarming messages which further encourage a fast response. ConcealBrowse protects  users from these types of phishing attacks by intervening when the link is clicked, making the user aware that the site may not be safe and not allowing credentials to be entered

browser-based threat 09.16.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 10th after being seen by security vendors earlier in the year. It was initially detected by five vendors, and it is currently flagged by 19 for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 52% risk assessment, warning the user  that this is a potential phishing attempt.

Malicious actors that have access to financial credentials can use them to access sensitive banking information and steal money from the victim. These accounts are often linked to both credit cards as well as individual bank accounts, providing many opportunities for money to be transferred elsewhere. A victim may have to file police reports to return their money to their account, causing added stress and a delay in the return of the funds. ConcealBrowse’s credential theft protection blocks keyboard input on suspicious sites to prevent these attempts from being successful.

browser threat report 09.16.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 10th. It was initially flagged by two vendors, and now there are 17 reporting the page for phishing and malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 51% risk score, citing suspicious behavior. Technical support scams are a common way for malicious actors to collect money from vulnerable people with little understanding of technology. They impersonate legitimate services from companies such as Microsoft, claiming that the victim’s machine is infected, and they must call the number on the screen to resolve the issue. Once the victim has called, they will be asked to pay money, usually in the form of gift cards. ConcealBrowse protects against these scams by warning the user of the suspicious nature of the site before they proceed. This raises awareness that the page is fraudulent, protecting the victim from the scam.

browser-based threat 09.9.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on September 3rd after being detected by security vendors a few days prior on August 30th. It was initially detected by just one vendor, but now there are 15 vendors flagging this page as malicious. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 20% risk score, citing poor reputation and suspicious behavior.

The IP address associated with this page has been seen downloading files containing the Smokeloader malware onto unsuspecting devices. Smokeloader is a family of malware that installs backdoors and allow other malware to be installed on infected devices. This can cause the loss of sensitive data to threat actors or consume system resources by joining a botnet. Seeing this IP address visited frequently by a device could be an indicator of infection and should be investigated further to ensure account security.

browser-based threat 09.9.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 4th after being detected by security vendors earlier in July. It was initially detected by only one vendor; however, there are now 22 vendors reporting this page for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 65% risk score after positively identifying the impersonating brand.

This is a phishing page, impersonating Facebook. The site goes as far as to make all hyperlinks functional, increasing the likelihood that a potential victim will believe that it is legitimate. A malicious actor that has access to social media credentials can use the compromised account for spear phishing attacks or scams. They’ll impersonate the individual they stole the account from, messaging others on the victim’s contact list. Users are more likely to respond to someone they recognize, putting other accounts at risk for compromise. ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in isolation, protecting users from phishing attempts.

An example of a possible redirect

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on September 5th, having been detected by threat intelligence as early as last year. It is currently detected by one vendor for malicious behavior, and another for suspicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 10% risk score.

Although the domain won’t show anything if visited directly, this site has been associated with adware infections. Adware is a type of malware that infects machines with excessive amounts of advertisements, either appearing as pop-ups on the device or redirects on the user’s browser. Additionally, adware may collect personal data on a user’s browsing habits, violating standard privacy practices. While ConcealBrowse intervenes to protect the user against any potentially harmful advertisements, devices frequently visiting this URL may already be infected and should be scanned.

SHA-256: 8373147600795a9f8b219964e64e1306ff3d48dbd8706ad6e040ef0a49cf3df6

browser-based threat 09.2.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 28th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by thirteen vendors and is now flagged by eighteen for phishing and malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 28% risk after detecting the suspected phishing site.

Sites like these utilize social engineering to carry out long-term scams. A victim may initially receive an email or text message that their account was suspended, asking them to continue to this fraudulent site to file a support ticket. Malicious actors will then contact the victim over the phone, asking them to send money or hand over account credentials. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize deceptive sites before they proceed, alerting them of potential scams.

browser-based threat 09.2.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 29th, after first being seen by security vendors on the 18th. It was initially detected by 17 vendors, and as of this writing the site is detected by 23 vendors. ConcealBrowse intervened on this phishing page with a 54% risk assessment after successfully identifying the brand impersonation.

This is a phishing page for an online storefront for games, allowing users to store purchases in a library that can be accessed from any device. The URL for this page is very similar to the actual URL of the page that it is impersonating, making it more difficult for users to recognize its fraudulent nature right away. A malicious actor with access to a victim’s credentials has access to their entire game library, potentially costing the victim a significant amount of money if they are unable to restore their account. ConcealBrowse blocks all keyboard input while in isolation, keeping credentials protected from phishing sites.

browser threat report 09.2.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 28th after being flagged by security vendors earlier last month. Currently, one vendor is flagging the page as containing malware. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 10% risk assessment due to suspicious behavior.

The domain tied to this page has been associated with adware infections. Devices that are infected with the adware will display this site in pop-ups, leading unsuspecting users to suspicious downloads. These downloads may contain more harmful software, such as browser hijackers. ConcealBrowse’s intervention will block downloads on sites while in isolation, keeping users safe from further infection. However, seeing this domain appear frequently in the Conceal dashboard could be an indicator of an existing infection, and should be investigated further.
