Feds Shut Down Fake COVID-19 Vaccine Phishing Website

Freevaccinecovax.org claimed to be that of a biotech company but instead was stealing info from visitors to use for nefarious purposes.

It collected visitor information by using a drop-down menu asking people to select their city and then apply for information by downloading a PDF file to their computers.
