Microsoft has seized 17 malicious homoglyph domains used by crooks in a business email compromise (BEC) campaign targeting its users. The IT giant secured a court order that allowed it to take down homoglyph domains used to impersonate Office 365 customers in fraudulent activities.

Last year, a court allowed the company to seize and take over malicious domains used in a large-scale COVID19-themed campaign targeting victims.”]
