SHA-256: eb8381b156aad734ef3a0328b4985ed1edeca1c8d79d66e094598f8c6992ac71

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.

browser threat report 09.2.24

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.

Week of September 2nd, 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 September 2nd, 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: 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.

Week of August 26th, 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 August 26th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

SHA-256: dd06e3e9ee2e19944227ae4893ddc07a9b0f4b5dd6dcb2ce4b5720f2b223537c

browser-based threat 08.26.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 26th, a few days after security vendors began reporting it. It was initially detected by two vendors on August 17th, and now there are six vendors flagging the URL as malicious. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 16% risk score due to suspicious activity.

This is a fake verification site that attempts to get users to install malware onto their devices. If the victim follows the instructions provided on the screen, they will paste code into the command line that installs a stealer onto their devices. Stealer malware takes credentials, credit card numbers, and any other personal data that it can scrape from a machine. It may also encrypt documents, making them inaccessible to the victim. ConcealBrowse’s isolation does not allow for the command to be copied onto the user’s keyboard, keeping them safe from malware installation.

browser-based threat 08.26.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 21st, a few days after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by three vendors and is currently flagged by nineteen due to phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 19% risk assessment after identifying the potential phishing site.

Sharing documents is a popular method used by threat actors to gain access to a wide variety of email accounts. In this case, this phishing page gives multiple options for login. This both makes the page appear more convincing to the victim, as well as giving attackers multiple opportunities for credential theft. Email credentials can be used to infiltrate other accounts linked to the same victim, as well as execute spear phishing campaigns on members of the victim’s contact list.

browser threat report 08.26.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 22nd, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially only flagged by two vendors, but now there are 11 vendors reporting that this page is phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 22% risk assessment, citing suspicious activity.

This is a phishing page for a cellular service and internet provider. With those credentials, a threat actor can open new cellular lines and transfer existing numbers out of the victim’s name. This not only puts the victim in a financial hardship, as the new lines are charged to the card associated with their account, but also render the victim’s current phone useless.

ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in isolation, preventing credential harvesting on

phishing sites.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of August 19th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

browser-based threat 08.19.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 14th. In the first week that this site was active, no security vendors were detecting it. Currently, there are six vendors that are flagging the page as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 13% risk assessment after detecting suspicious behavior on the page.

While in an isolated environment, this page uses evasive techniques to delay detection by security vendors. However, when outside of Conceal’s isolation, the site shows a parcel delivery scam. A malicious actor pretends to be a shipping company, informing the victim that there was an error with their package, and they must pay fees to retrieve it. This is an attempt to gain the victim’s payment details, as well as personal information that they can later use to target the victim with more scams. ConcealBrowse’s intervention brings attention to these fraudulent pages, decreasing the chances of users being deceived.

browser-based threat 08.19.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 19th, the day after security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by five vendors, and now there are seventeen vendors marking the page as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 21% risk assessment, citing suspicious activity.

Prior to its removal, this site was hosting a phishing page for a messaging platform. Often,  malicious actors will use previously compromised accounts to send scams and phishing  attempts to others on the victim’s contact list. An unknowing user is more likely to trust someone that they know, allowing the chain of attack to continue. While in an isolated session, users are unable to enter in credentials or other personal information, keeping their accounts protected from phishing attacks.

browser-based threat 08.19.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 19th, after first being detected by security vendors earlier this month. It was first flagged by five vendors, and now there are 18 vendors  reporting this page for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 20%  risk score due to the poor reputation of the site and unsecure connection.

This is a shopping scam, impersonating a popular online store. Shopping scams carry the risk of not receiving any product or receiving a counterfeit version that does not match the description seen online. Additionally, this site only accepts cryptocurrency as payment.

Cryptocurrency allows for transactions that cannot be traced or refunded, leaving the victim  with no way to recover their money if the products are fraudulent. ConcealBrowse’s  intervention allows users to view the site without being able to enter any information. This protects them and their personal information from deceptive sites.

browser-based threat 08.12.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 9th, the day after other security vendors began reporting. It was initially detected by one vendor, and now 14 vendors are flagging this page for phishing activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 12% risk score, identifying the page as a potential phishing site.

This site was likely used as part of a larger scam to obtain both the credentials, and the multifactor authentication code needed to access the victim’s bank account. The user’s login and PW would have already been compromised, and the malicious actors would only need the code to gain access and lock the victim out. ConcealBrowse’s analysis identifies potential phishing sites, warning users and blocking them from entering any sensitive information.

browser-based threat 08.12.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 8th. Currently, there are fifteen security vendors flagging this site for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 47% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.

This is a phishing page looking to steal credentials for a customer and prospect management platform. Some information that may be stored on a site like this includes the email addresses, full names, phone numbers, and business addresses of potential clients, all of which a malicious actor would have access to if the account was compromised. This could then be used to target other unsuspecting victims with their personal information and curate realistic scams. ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input while in an isolated session, protecting user credentials from phishing attempts.

browser-based threat 08.12.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 8th. It initially was undetected by security vendors, but currently there is one vendor flagging the page for malicious activity.

ConcealBrowse intervened with an 11% risk score, due to the poor reputation of the domain and the suspicious nature of the page.

Although on its own, this URL leads to nothing, it has been associated with an adware infection. Adware is a type of malicious software that shows various pop-ups on the user’s device and may redirect their browsing sessions to advertisements or other suspicious sites. This can consume excessive resources on the device, leading to decreases in productivity.

Seeing this site visited multiple times by the same device in the Conceal dashboard could indicate infection and should be investigated.

browser-based threat 08.08.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 5th. It was first flagged by eight security vendors, and now twenty vendors have marked the URL as phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened on this page with a 25% risk assessment, protecting the user from this phishing attempt.

Phishing emails containing information about documents that need immediate attention are a popular method for malicious actors that are trying to obtain email credentials. This page uses a fake image at the back of the page to give the appearance that there is a document behind the requested login page. Additionally, this site uses obfuscated scripts that are designed to evade many popular security vendors. ConcealBrowse’s isolation allows users to view the website but not enter any information into the page, keeping credentials secure.

browser-based threat 08.08.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on August 2nd after having a negative reputation with security vendors. As of this writing, one security vendor has labelled this site as malicious. Because of suspicious elements, ConcealBrowse gave the site an 11% risk assessment and put the page into isolation.

Although this site appears to be a legitimate alternative search engine, there have been reports of it being involved in browser hijackers and PUPs. These types of software install themselves on the user’s computer without their knowledge or consent and proceed to change default settings. The user’s browser would be set to this page, redirecting them to unwanted sites and advertisements. These types of search engines often put the user’s privacy at risk as well. Multiple occurrences of this site appearing without the user directly going to it may be a sign of infection, and the device should be scanned.

browser-based threat 8.08.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 31st after originally being detected by 14 security vendors. Currently, there are 16 vendors flagging this URL as phishing. Due to this information and other malicious indicators, ConcealBrowse intervened with a 21% risk assessment.

This page is impersonating a popular digital wallet used to store cryptocurrency. While there is no direct place for a victim to enter their credentials, this page likely used to include internal links that would lead users to other malicious webpages. Cryptocurrency is unique from other items of monetary value because it is decentralized and not traceable. A malicious actor with the right information could drain the victim’s funds without being caught or the possibility of the transactions being reversed. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize the suspicious nature of these sites if other deceptive indicators are missed.

At Conceal, your digital safety is our utmost priority. Our weekly threat report for the week of July 29th, 2024, unveils critical insights into the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.

browser-based threat 7.29.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 26th, having first been seen by security

vendors last year. There are currently 16 vendors flagging this page for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 29% risk assessment due to the detection of suspicious activity.

This site exploits a free website creation service to host a phishing page looking to steal email credentials. Website creation tools have become popular among threat actors, due to their ease of use and low-cost. An unsuspecting user recognizing the targeted brand in the domain name would enter their credentials and have them stolen by malicious actors. While in an isolated session, ConcealBrowse blocks keyboard input to keep users safe from suspicious sites.

An example of one of the redirects

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 26th as part of a routine scan. It was initially detected by 11 vendors, and that number has not changed. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 10% risk assessment due to poor reputation.

This domain utilizes redirects to deliver malicious pages to the user. These pages vary in their contents, mainly having links to browser hijackers and other adware. They may also try to trick the user into believing that their machine is infected by using fake antivirus pop-ups and scans. ConcealBrowse’s intervention prevents the user from downloading anything from the redirected sites, ensuring that their device remains free of infection.

browser-based threat 7.29.24

A user attempted to access this site on July 29th using ConcealBrowse. At present, 18 security vendors have categorized this domain as phishing, highlighting the potential threat it poses. ConcealBrowse identified the impersonation of the DocuSign brand on the site and assigned it a 14% risk score, indicating a moderate level of risk.

This phishing attempt likely came in the form of a fraudulent email informing the victim that there was a document that needed to be signed. These types of sites often fill in the victim’s email automatically, so a password is all that is required. This is done to make the login page appear more legitimate. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize fraudulent pages, as well as blocking keyboard input to keep credentials safe from phishing sites.

browser-based threat 7.22.24

In the wake of the recent events involving Crowdstrike, many malicious actors have taken advantage of the outage and spun up domains that that pretend to be legitimate services offering solutions for affected devices. These websites have been discovered by security vendors to be distributing malware while claiming it is a fix, as well as extorting vulnerable users by claiming payment is necessary to repair their systems. The chaotic nature of the situation may cause normally wary users to act without caution, putting companies and their systems at risk.

Users affected by this outage should be using official channels to communicate with Crowdstrike support and be on the lookout for fraudulent sites that are trying to exploit the situation. ConcealBrowse is taking steps to block newly created domains that are impersonating Crowdstrike support, protecting clients from compromises.

browser-based threat 7.22.24

This site was first detected by ConcealBrowse on July 19th after being seen by security vendors in June. It is currently flagged by 15 vendors for phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse successfully identified the brand impersonation and isolated the site with a 28% risk score.

Shopping sites can be a popular target for threat actors because of the payment information that is stored on the account. The victim’s credit card could be used for fraudulent purchases, potentially causing financial hardship. Additionally, this page uses a fake verification page before delivering the victim to the credential harvesting form. Verification pages are used to try to provide the victim with a sense of security and make the deceptive site appear more legitimate. ConcealBrowse’s intervention blocks keyboard input and helps users recognize these phishing sites more quickly, keeping their information safe.

browser-based threat 7.22.24

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on July 17th, the day after other security vendors began reporting. It was initially reported by five vendors and is now currently flagged by eight for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 16% risk score due to the suspicious nature of the page’s contents.

This page is looking to steal credentials for a university. Compromising the account of an employee or a student can allow the malicious actor to impersonate them, utilizing social engineering to gain further access into the system. University records often contain sensitive information, such as full names and social security numbers, that could also be exploited. ConcealBrowse blocks all keyboard input while in isolation. This prevents unsuspecting users from entering their credentials into suspicious sites.
