This is bad. Perhaps big corps should buy, as fast as they can, these fake domains before scammers do and redirect them to the legit websites. Doing so they will help protect their users as well as their brand reputation.
- beaconstudios 10y agowould these kind of attacks, where you can replace 1+ letters and have a new domain, not be subject to combinatorial explosion? I can imagine companies with longer domains having to buy 10,000+ domains to do this.
- achairapart 10y agoI think Google or Facebook can afford this. They already do this with misspelled domains.
- beaconstudios 10y agoGoogle or Facebook sure, but medium-sized businesses might find it to be too expensive.
- achairapart 10y agoSure, but phishing is most all about very big brands or banks. My point is, for this segment will never be a money problem, more a digital culture deficit problem. Most of them are still not proactive enough about those issues, it seems like they don't care that much. At least, until they will be hit hard by this. Then, they will likely spend 100x in lawyers, reputation, and so on.
