`Shoppers looking for great deals this holiday season need to be extra careful, as a massive operation involving over 2,000 fake online stores has been found, timed perfectly to steal money and personal details during peak sales like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Cybersecurity firm CloudSEK recently discovered this huge network and shared its research with Hackread.com. According to CloudSEK’s analysis, these aren’t isolated incidents; they are highly organised operations using identical methods to trick people, making this one of the largest coordinated scam efforts seen this shopping season.
The fake sites were identified by their suspicious resource usage and recurring templates. This operation includes two main groups: one with over 750 interconnected sites, 170 of which impersonate Amazon using uniform banners, flipclock-style urgency timers, and misleading trust symbols. The second group comprises over 1,000 .shop domains impersonating major brands like Apple, Samsung, Dell, Ray-Ban, and Xiaomi.`
Don't get duped, or let likely your parents get duped.
