According to a Kapersky report, there were over 30 million phishing attacks in the first 10 months of 2023. E-commerce platforms were used as a lure in 43.5% of the attacks. With increased shopping for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, phishing attacks have increased.
Since October, a notable threefold increase in domains using the words "Black Friday" has been observed. Websites in these domains range from nonexistent stores to convincing replicas of real online outlets.
