Fake Chatbots Are Deployed on Phishing Pages
Attackers embed chat widgets mimicking IT support to build trust. These bots ask for credentials or MFA under the guise of assistance. Users feel safer interacting with a “helper” than filling a form.
Deepfake Voice Calls Now Target Financial Approvers
Short audio samples are used to recreate executive voices convincingly. Attackers place urgent calls asking for wire transfers or access changes. Victims act quickly, believing they’re helping their CEO or CFO.
QR Codes Used in Real Life Lead to Malicious Sites
Bad actors stick fake QR codes in lobbies, restrooms, or printouts. Scanning them leads to login pages or malware downloads. Mobile devices rarely show full URLs, making detection harder.
Free email without sacrificing your privacy
Gmail tracks you. Proton doesn’t. Get private email that puts your data — and your privacy — first.
SMS-Based MFA Recovery Flows Are Cloned
Fake recovery pages replicate password reset steps perfectly. Victims receive spoofed texts with links that steal credentials. These attacks blend phishing with real user expectations.
Internal Slack or Teams Messages Are Spoofed
Attackers use compromised accounts or webhooks to simulate internal comms. Messages ask for urgent approvals or send malicious links. The casual tone of chats lowers user suspicion.
Push Notification Phishing Exploits User Trust
Malicious browser push alerts simulate login prompts or error messages. Clicking them leads to phishing sites disguised as portals. Victims often accept the request without second thought.
