LayerX Labs has reported a shift in phishing attacks, which have transitioned from targeting Windows users to focusing on Mac users. Initially, scammers created deceptive websites with fake security warnings indicating that users' computers had been compromised. With professionally designed and frequently updated pages hosted on Microsoft's Windows.net platform, the attackers were able to evade detection. The incorporation of anti-bot measures and quick sub-domain changes allowed them to maintain and proliferate their malicious activities more effectively, emphasizing the need for elevated security measures across platforms.
The phishing attack has evolved from targeting Windows users to specifically aiming at Mac users, using sophisticated methods to sidestep security measures.
LayerX Labs highlights how attackers changed their strategy to target Mac users by implementing methods that made phishing attempts appear legitimate and difficult to detect.
