The Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit has seized 240 fraudulent sites
The sites were used by ONNX to sell phishing templates
Phishing attacks target millions of users per month
Millions of phishing emails targeting victims every day use ‘do it yourself’ phishing kits developed by Egypt-based ONNX – but the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit has now seriously disrupted this operation, seizing 240 fraudulent websites used to help sell Phishing-as-a-Service (PaaS) kits.
Phishing poses a real threat to individuals and organizations alike, with successful phishing attacks delivering devastating financial and data loss. Cybercriminals have taken this further by developing ‘kits’ to sell to other criminals to help develop widespread phishing campaigns and bypass security measures by intercepting MFA requests.
