The research shows that in a span of 90 days, over 6,000 domain registrations targeting the retail sector were observed, highlighting a potential rise in e-commerce-related scams.
Malicious actors are increasingly using terms such as 'shop,' 'deal,' and 'save' alongside well-known retail brands to create seemingly legitimate domains that mislead consumers.
Techniques utilized by these fraudsters include string manipulation, typosquatting, and social engineering, which aim to exploit online shoppers during the busy holiday season.
The report stresses the importance of shopping on verified websites and being cautious about unsolicited advertisements to avoid falling victim to these scams.
