March 2019 by Zscaler
Last summer, the Zscaler ThreatLabZ team covered scam
campaigns in which bad actors using .tk domains were showing warnings of a fake
malware infection and trying to generate revenue by offering remediation’s.
In their latest blog, the ThreatLabZ team has noticed the development of similar
campaigns in which bad actors are making use of cheap domains, registering them in
bulk, and scamming people in an attempt to generate revenue. In this blog, the team
covers a few of these campaigns, how they come about and the best practice for
dealing with them.
