CYSE 201S Entry 6

Fake websites compared to real websites.


Abcnews.com.co : You can identify this fake website as it’s common for fake websites to attempt fool users by mimicking real websites. You spot this by noticing the added “.co”.

Amazonstorepro.com : This is another example of a website trying to piggyback off the domain name of a widely recognized company. Anytime an widely recognized business seems to have been modified, this is a red flag.

Outdoorbest.store: This example uses a top-level domain “store” that isn’t widely recognized. Fake websites used by cybercriminals typically use TLDs that you wouldn’t ordinarily see. Seeing a website with the same url ending with “.com” would be far less suspicious.
