The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a list of what it refers to as “spoofed FBI domains” that are posing cyber and disinformation risks.
Says the FBI announcement:
Spoofed domains and email accounts are leveraged by foreign actors and cybercriminals and can easily be mistaken for legitimate websites or emails. Adversaries can use spoofed domains and email accounts to disseminate false information; gather valid usernames, passwords, and email addresses; collect personally identifiable information; and spread malware, leading to further compromises and potential financial losses
The list contains several such samples, including at least one domain that is basically a three letter acronym for sale: FBI.ca.
