One successful phishing attack on each 221st website in the ".az" domain zone (registered for Azerbaijan) was recorded in July 2021, which is 0.45 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.
According to the company, in July 2021, a total of 170 Azerbaijani websites faced phishing attacks, the number of which increased by more than two times as compared to June 2021.
“Up until now, more than 37,700 were registered in the ".az" domain zone,” the company said.
According to Netcraft, in Ukraine, every 94th website faced with one phishing attack, in Russia - every 21st website, in Belarus - every 552nd website, in Latvia - for every 19th website, in Lithuania - every 190th website, in Estonia - every 13th website, in Kazakhstan - every 370th website, in Uzbekistan - every 26th website, and in Georgia – every 135th website also faced with 1 phishing attack.
The phishing attack is carried out by sending a large number of emails on behalf of popular brands. The emails often contain a direct link to a fake brand site that does not visually differ from the real one. 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.
