Digital Shadows Discovers Over 100 Fake Libra-related Domains

Researchers at Digital Shadows, a cyber threat intelligence company,  have detected more than 100 Facebook’s Libra-related fake domains and several dozen referring to the associated digital wallet Calibra. Some of these websites has a malicious content. [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are two gropes of the fakes — those impersonating Libra’s official website, and those promoting scams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]“Instead of relying on media buzz and hype around the brand, these types of scams instead aim to convince victims that they are on a legitimate website, and therefore more likely to trust it with their personal and financial data,” said Alex Guirakhoo, a strategic intelligence analyst at Digital Shadows. Scammers use alphabets that resemble the Roman one used in English to look like the official domain by, for example, replacing a lower-case “a” with the identical Cyrillic character “a.” At least six of the domains copied the Libra and Calibra website by means of the aforementioned homographic technique. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_cta h2=”JOIN TO OUR TELEGRAM CHANNEL” h4=”ALL THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS ON TELEGRAM” css=”.vc_custom_1534928484642background-color: #44d8dd !important;”]Join to our Telegram channel HYIP.com to be always up-to-date with the latest news of the cryptocurrency space.[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On June 18, Facebook introduced its own Libra cryptocurrency.
