Spike in Amazon phishing for Prime Day: a new day of deals means new phishing campaigns
Amazon's Prime Day is a prime target for cyber criminals, who ramp up their phishing schemes to steal login credentials and credit card details. With the pandemic causing more people to rely on online shopping, attackers are using advanced tactics to create convincing messages that mimic real Amazon emails. These phishing campaigns often involve spoofing Amazon's branding and using newly registered domains to send malicious content. To protect users from falling victim to these attacks, companies need to implement advanced email security solutions that can detect new tactics in real-time.
