Millions of people who Gmail or Microsoft Outlook have been warned after report of a 240 per cent rise in scams. Cyber defence company BlueVoyant has warned of the dangers of phishing scams, which it has warned are hard to spot.
Experts at the firm have produced a report about dynamic phishing, a technique which redirects researchers and bots away from the scam content and on to an apparently safer link. This method allows the scammers to operate undetected.
BlueVoyant said: "One of the more complicated ways threat actors evade detection involves multiple redirect paths, steering consumers to spoofed domains while redirecting presumed threat hunters or phishing analysts to an error page.
