The FBI is warning the general public of the risks behind recently registered FBI-related domains that spoof some of the federal law enforcement agency’s official websites. The lookalike domains can also be used to create spoofed emails that would allow attackers to persuade their victims to click and open malicious links and websites. They could be used by both nation state-backed hacking groups or cyber-criminals as part of espionage or financially motivated campaigns targeting businesses and individuals. The FBI also warns of the potential use of spoofed US Census Bureau domains in future malicious campaigns.
