One successful phishing attack on each 58-th website in the ".az" domain zone (registered for Azerbaijan) was registered in September 2020, which is 1.7 percent of the total number of attacks registered in the national domain of internet resources, Trend reports citing a report of the Netcraft analytical company.
“A total of 621 Azerbaijani sites faced with phishing attacks, the number of which increased by 88.2 percent over the past month,” said the company.
The same data for other countries is as follows:

“The phishing attack is carried out by sending a large number of emails on behalf of popular brands.

By entering such a site, the user can provide hackers with valuable information that allows them to gain access to their personal accounts and bank accounts,” the company added.
