Devious New Phishing Tactic Targets Tabs
Many Internet users know what a regular phishing attack looks like, where an email comes in with a link asking you to click it and enter your credentials into a fake site meant to steal that info. What about a sneaky one that exploits user inattention to their browser tabs?
Reported on the blog Krebs on Security a new phishing attack was invented recently where the unattended tabs left open in your browser will be changed with a JavaScript code embedded in the website. The tab’s favicon and title will be changed to look like a frequently visited site and the tab content will be changed to a fake version of that website. The point is to trick the user into thinking they left that site open and got logged out and they will want to re-enter their login information.
