“Our main goal is to identify fraud and take down frauds,” said Bruno Homem, Enforcement Takedown Manager, Axur. He stated that the organization has been taking down over 40,000 links per month.
He shared that the two most common types of scams in South America are Phishing Scams and Online Shopping Scams. “Brazil is a target for almost 13% of all phishing websites worldwide,” Mr. Homem added.
Further, he raised concerns that scammers are using automation to boost their phishing kits for attacks. They are spreading phishing kits through paid ads on social media, paid web search results and Google Shopping. The phishing kits are offered as ‘phishing as a service’ and use various tactics to evade detection by anti-phishing algorithms.
Mr. Homem also noted there is an increase in fake social media profiles used for phishing but they are less sophisticated. The main aim is to exploit the victim’s social network.
