Imagine sifting through your daily emails and spotting one from a trusted brand. It’s easy to let your guard down and think it’s safe. However, a new phishing scam, known as “SubdoMailing,” is changing the game, making it crucial for small to medium business decision-makers to pay close attention.
SubdoMailing exploits a clever technique where cybercriminals impersonate reputable companies by hijacking their unused subdomains. These are the sections of a web address before the main domain, like the ‘experience’ in experience.trustedbrand.com. The attackers hunt for these subdomains pointing to external, now-unregistered domains, purchase them, and then redirect unsuspecting users to fraudulent sites.
This method is alarmingly effective, with millions of seemingly legitimate emails bypassing security measures and infiltrating inboxes of businesses nationwide every day.
