SHA-256: f2876a6950f24ffb2198521e74af1e6d0ff83f8abf8f87c54bfc1e1dd88efe4d
This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 17th. It was initially detected by 2 vendors on June 14th and is currently flagged by 14 vendors for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 19% risk score due to suspicious behavior.
This is a technical support scam, which mainly aims to steal money from victims by pretending to be a legitimate brand. These pages often force the user into fullscreen mode, along with playing alarming noises, which make it more difficult to tell that the notifications are not legitimate. If the user were to dial the phone number, the malicious actor would then walk them through the steps necessary to gain access to their banking information and machine. ConcealBrowse’s intervention benefits the user in this case by showing the interstitial page and letting them know before they proceed that the site is potentially dangerous.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 17th, having initially been reported by security vendors earlier in the year. It is currently detected by 18 vendors, causing ConcealBrowse to intervene with a 21% risk assessment.
This is a Microsoft phishing page, attempting to deceive users into entering their email credentials. In today’s age, email credentials are often tied to multiple accounts that hold value to the victim. For example, several workplaces use integrations that allow their employees to login to everything with just their email address. This could lead to a malicious actor gaining access into other systems and put other members of the company at risk. ConcealBrowse’s isolation blocks keyboard input while in a suspicious website, preventing users from entering their credentials.

SHA-256: 910c259bf66f783dff6e38866902e544453ce2cf83b49871971be1afffdb43da
This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 18th, and there are currently ten security vendors flagging the site for malware hosting and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 23% risk assessment because of suspicious activity.
This site claims to host several popular pieces of software that you would normally not be able to obtain without paying for the licenses. However, upon further inspection of the downloads, several security vendors have flagged them as being several different variants of malware. One of these variants is a cryptomining malware. Cryptomining malware infects the machine with software that degrades device performance and may leave it vulnerable to other exploits. While in an isolated session, users cannot download any software onto their device, which helps defend them against malware.

SHA-256: aad290dd5b101cf7cf682ec0ac3d27d4996fc2e5913163c894dd427ebd7fc0bb
This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 14th, with security vendors first detecting the site in May. It was initially detected by 3 vendors, and is now flagged by 15 for phishing, causing ConcealBrowse to intervene with a 28% risk assessment.
Prior to the removal of the site, this page was attempting to harvest credentials via QR code phishing. QR Code phishing involves a malicious actor taking a legitimate authentication QR code and hosting it on their own site. An unsuspecting user then uses the QR code to login to their account with their mobile device, giving the threat actor access to the tokens necessary to steal the account. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize deceptive sites quickly, reducing the risk of the QR code being scanned.

This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 13th, the day after the first security vendors began detecting the site. It was initially detected by eight security vendors and is now flagged by 15 due to phishing and malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened on this page with a 17% risk assessment, citing suspicious activity.
This is a phishing page looking for a cryptocurrency recovery phrase. Recovery phrases are used to recover cryptocurrency wallets if the user has lost access. If the user were to enter their recovery phrase into this deceptive site, a malicious actor would have complete access to the wallet and be able to transfer all currency out of it. Given the value of some cryptocurrency, this can be devastating to the victim, and there is not a way to reverse the transaction. ConcealBrowse’s intervention blocks all keyboard input while in isolation, stopping users from entering sensitive information into suspicious sites.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 13th, first being reported by security vendors on June 12th. It was initially detected by eight vendors and is currently detected by 13 vendors for malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 21% risk assessment due to the suspicious nature of the website.
This site is phishing for social media credentials. Compromised social media accounts may contain more personal data, such as phone numbers and addresses, that can be used to further target the victim. Additionally, malicious actors may use the compromised account to attempt to phish users in the victim’s contact list. Unknowing users are more likely to click on links from someone they trust, continuing the chain of compromise. ConcealBrowse’s intervention blocks keyboard input and prevents users from entering their credentials into sites while in isolation.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 5th, the same day other security vendors began reporting. Although it was initially not detected by any vendors, it was then detected by six and is now flagged by 15 for phishing activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 22% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.
This site is impersonating the login page for a popular online shopping brand. Online shopping accounts may contain information such as saved credit cards or an email address.

SHA-256: f076b589b3cb190f8f0f6f0475e851c019d260145bccedd0c0dafd1fb43fdc49
This site was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 5th. The main domain was first seen by security vendors last year, with five vendors reporting it as malicious. Currently, the page is detected by nine vendors for malicious activity. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 20% risk score because of suspicious behavior.
Fake storefronts often take on the appearance of other popular brands to appear more convincing to the user. This site’s domain name is very similar to the legitimate brand, but upon further investigation, the deceptive site is registered to an entirely different organization. These scams may steal user’s money by failing to deliver the product or delivering an illegitimate version. While in isolation, users can interact with the site, but cannot type in any information necessary to make purchases.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on June 7th and has not yet been reported by any other security vendors. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 16% risk score, due to the detection of suspicious activity.
This site has been seen redirecting to a fake virus notification. These advertisements pretend to be legitimate anti-virus software companies, using legitimate brand names and logos to convince the user that their machine is infected. In this case, the site goes as far as to pretend to scan the user’s machine and find several instances of malware. This information may encourage the user to act quickly, giving out personal information to potential fraudulent sites. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps users recognize the deceptive nature of these sites to keep them and their information protected.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on May 31st. It was first flagged by security vendors in April, and there are currently nineteen vendors reporting this site as malicious. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 25% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.
This is a phishing page that attempts to harvest email credentials. Email credentials are particularly valuable to threat actors, due to their wide scope of use. A compromised email address can be used to send out more convincing phishing emails to other potential victims by coming from a trusted sender. Additionally, any credentials that were shared with the email address are also compromised and could lead to the loss of accounts that belong to the same user. While in an isolated session, ConcealBrowse ignores keyboard input, so user credentials are secure.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on May 31st, the same day that other security vendors began reporting. Security vendors originally reported this site as clean, but currently there are 13 vendors detecting phishing and malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 28% risk assessment after detecting suspicious activity.

Support scams, such as this one, aim to lure users into giving away vital information that can be used to compromise their accounts in the future. The user is informed that their account has violated the terms of use, and an appeal is necessary, or else the account will be permanently deleted. Information gathered using this scam, such as email address and phone number, will be used as part of social engineering to contact the user later to extort money from them to restore their account. ConcealBrowse’s isolation prevents users from entering text into the page, stopping the scam.

This domain is part of a malicious advertising campaign. The link will redirect to several different sites, which may contain spam, malware, or other harmful material. A browser redirecting to this site without any input from the user may be indicative of a malware infection or a malicious browser extension. ConcealBrowse’s intervention helps alert users that these sites are malicious and encourages further action if their device is compromised.

This is a phishing page that aims to steal email credentials and utilizes user verification features to evade website scanners.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on May 3rd, with the first security vendors reporting a few days earlier. It was initially detected by five vendors on May 1st and is currently detected by 17 vendors for phishing. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 29% risk assessment, citing suspicious behavior.
This site also demonstrates a shared document scam; however, it differs from others by pretending to be the user’s online storage drive, rather than just one document. This may make users believe that the link took them to their personal account and be more likely to enter their password to access the fraudulent document. This phishing attempt takes advantage of the user not investigating the page further because it looks so close to the legitimate version of the site.

This site impersonates a popular security vendor, claiming that the user’s machine is at risk until they renew their subscription. Pages such as this one often have links that lead to illegitimate products that are not representative of the service, or affiliated links that generate revenue for the malicious actor under the guise of protecting customer devices. Users should always use trusted means to renew security services and ignore pages like this that ConcealBrowse has intervened on.

This page was detected by ConcealBrowse on April 26th. It was first detected by one security vendor in January of 2024, and is currently detected by 12 security vendors for malicious behavior. ConcealBrowse intervened with a 28% risk score due to proximity, phishing, and suspicious behavior.
This domain is frequently used to host prize scams. Although prize scams alone can result in the theft of payment information, this specific site has also been connected to a chargeback prevention fraud. Chargeback prevention fraud occurs when the stolen card information is used to charge the users for a service under the guise that it is easy to cancel. However, when victims attempt to cancel the service, the malicious actors utilize deceptive tactics to avoid returning the money.
Conceal Recommends: This domain should be blocked. While in isolation, users do not have access to their keyboards and cannot input sensitive information.
