Hackers are using progressive web applications (PWAs) disguised as banking apps to steal login credentials from Android and iOS users. These phishing PWAs evade security alerts, making it difficult for victims to identify them as unsafe. Cybercriminals promote these fake apps through phishing links, social media ads, and SMS. By mimicking legitimate apps, PWAs trick users into downloading them, capturing sensitive information. As more attackers exploit PWAs, awareness of this tactic is critical for digital safety.
Microsoft has launched fake Azure environments, or “honeypots,” to lure and monitor phishing actors, collecting intelligence on their tactics, techniques, and infrastructure. These honeypots look realistic, with thousands of simulated user accounts and activity, enticing attackers to waste time while Microsoft gathers valuable data on their behavior. This approach helps Microsoft enhance defenses against phishing and other cyber threats, slowing down attackers and allowing Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center to identify and block malicious activity at scale.
