Researchers have uncovered a network of fraudulent websites posing as online stores in a far-reaching fraud operation aimed at stealing user’s payment information.
Primarily impersonating genuine existing ecommerce sites, adverts posted on Facebook boasted high discounts and time-sensitive deals in order to entice customers into entering their card details. Not only was money taken from user’s accounts, but their details were then sold on dark web marketplaces, which often lead to long-term credit card fraud.
