Scammers Use Fake Website to Masquerade as Burning Man Organizers: The Latest Cybercrime Scheme



Criminals can circulate look-alike QR codes to try and trick unsuspecting users into loading up scam websites. For example, a QR code can be designed to lead you to a seemingly legitimate website from a company you trust. But in reality, the landing page has been designed to log your email address, password, or credit card information and hand it off to scammers.




Scammers Use Fake Website to Masquerade as Burning Man Organizers



Malicious actors are likely to post links to fake charities and fraudulent websites that solicit donations for relief efforts or deliver malware. The MS-ISAC observed similar scams and malware dissemination campaigns in response to previous high-profile events including Hurricane Harvey, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Royal Wedding, and the Tennessee wildfires. Its highly likely that more scams and malware will follow over the course of the response period. Internet users should exercise caution before opening related emails, clicking links, visiting websites, or making donations to coronavirus relief efforts.


Bad guys are exploiting the recent fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. There are fake Facebook pages, tweets are going out with misinformation and fake charity websites are soon to follow. Bad guys are going to try to shock you and manipulate you into doing something in their interest.


The second phishing scheme that is gaining in popularity are fake shopping sites. These are sites either found on social media or delivered via email, enticing you with a product that would make a great gift for a loved one. They want you to click on the link to go shopping, and the website might even look legit. However, all they are wanting is your credit card and other personal information. Only go to trusted site to do any holiday, online shopping.
