Attack Spotlight: Lookalike Websites Trick Users
Email Body:
Hello,
Be on the lookout for “lookalike” websites and links in emails, social media posts and online ads that mimic authentic sites. Attackers create lookalike websites that use known, trusted brand names, logos and images to fool users. Even our own brand could be illegally copied by cybercriminals. Attackers use lookalike sites for malicious purposes, like selling counterfeit goods, stealing passwords for legitimate websites and spreading malicious software.
The link below takes you to a brief (two-minute) module that helps explain the techniques cybercriminals use and how to avoid lookalike sites and links.
