Hello folks, I had the pleasure of attending the look alike domain webinar that was hosted by Phishlabs. It was very interesting, and definitely covered quite a bit. As they indicated, not all attacks are going to have look like domains or domains that might mimic your web site or brand.
One of these that didn’t mimic anything except copyright per see was the email host security domain that I talked about last Friday in this blog post titled: Just saw the best email ever … in my inbox … domain is relatively new which talks about this in a spam email through my forms. Just to give you an update on that case, it looks like now that the domain is still registered but shows a blank page. I don’t know what was done, but I do know that the domain is still existing. According to the icann who is look up web page it is still registered and had pointed where I saw it through Ultrahost.
According to the webinar, this type of thing can be used to keep tabs on domains, although I think the presenter forgot that the who is directory doesn’t seem to show anything anymore on address, phone number, and the like. I’ve tested that on my domain and on one I have a who is protection on.
There was a lot more, and I know that they’ll provide a recording. Maybe at some point, I’ll record it and present it on a podcast. Thanks for reading, and we’ll chat soon!
