Hackers have continued to move into the crypto sector to steal digital assets. Hackers are now using SEO techniques to lead users toward phishing websites for wallet providers such as Metamask and cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken.
Hackers devising new ways to steal crypto
A report from Netskope has shown that cryptocurrency phishing campaigns are now being conducted through multiple platforms such as Google Sites, Microsoft Azure, and SEO. Phishing campaigns have been behind massive losses by crypto investors over the years.
The sites targeted through these schemes are created using Microsoft Azure and Google Sites. Users on these platforms are tricked into providing their data and allowing the threat actors to steal funds from them.
This is the first kind of crypto scam that Netskope has traced. Netskope is an online security company that provides services related to SEO. A report from the company published in 2022 also said that hackers were using blog posts as tools to send out links.
The hackers posted links containing SEO content in the blog posts, allowing them to rank higher in the search engine results. It shows that the links will be accessed by many people who will open them believing they linked to real cryptocurrency websites. Instead, these links direct users to phishing websites similar to legitimate crypto websites like MetaMask. Some hackers mimic leading exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken.
