Domains hijacked for multiple crypto project websites
Researchers: Weak Security Defaults Enabled Squarespace Domains Hijacks
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/07/researchers-weak-security-defaults-enabled-squarespace-domains-hijacks/Domain hijacking, a cybersecurity threat where malicious actors take control of legitimate domain names, can have significant implications for internet users, particularly through potential phishing attacks.
In such cases, the attackers use the hijacked domain to obtain login credentials by creating a fraudulent version of a trusted website.
The urgency to act upon receiving unsolicited communications, often sent via email, increases the likelihood of falling victim to these attacks.
Users must exercise caution and remain vigilant when receiving emails, even from reputable sources, to protect their personal information and prevent unauthorized access to their accounts.
