Threat actors have been known to hide behind legitimate Internet services1 to spread malware and lure victims to phishing sites and other malicious campaigns.
In this study, we built on a Palo Alto Networks report2 to dig deeper into a tactic called “domain shadowing” that enables cybercriminals to ride on the legitimacy of an entity’s domain name. The study led us to:
- 2,900+ new subdomains beginning with strings used in the IoCs added between 1 September and 24 October 2022
- 1,600+ web properties sharing the same IP addresses as the IoCs
- About 4% of the connected artifacts that have been flagged as malicious
- Several properties hosting suspicious pages, some of which look similar to content hosted by the IoCs
