Following a 240% increase in email scams, a "red alert" warning has been sent to billions of Google and Microsoft Outlook users. According to the cyber defence company BlueVoyant, phishing attacks can be challenging to notice.
Dynamic phishing scams have prompted a warning from BlueVoyant, Birmingham Live reports. Their report said: "One of the more complicated ways threat actors evade detection involves multiple redirect paths, steering consumers to spoofed domains while redirecting presumed threat hunters or phishing analysts to an error page."
The report added: "These evasion mechanisms include User Agent or IP restrictions and blocklisting, with significant emphasis placed on bot and crawler detection. The purpose of this type of redirection is to hide the phishing content on a single website by diverting threat hunters elsewhere, i.e. the target's official domain, a google search, etc.
