Giả mạo URL: Định nghĩa và giải thích

Any successful spoofing attack relies on trickery to lure unsuspecting users into giving their personal data, or click on malicious links. The level of damage caused by spoofing has always grown over the years. While simple spoofs like a fake company logo still work, attackers are going an extra mile to implement more dangerous scams.

The most recent type of phishing scam is the URL spoof – an illegal URL lookalike displaying as a real one. But the question remains, how does a scammer manage to create a URL that is the same? Moreover, how can you avoid falling victim? We’ve covered that.

URL Spoofing là gì?

Ideally, a spoofed URL is a fraudulent link masked to appear as a legitimate source address, just to steal your data. Occasionally, clicking on a spoofed URL once can cause malware damage to your device. Some scammers even go miles to make a site look identical to the actual version. This trick gives the spoofed site the false legitimacy that will prompt them to provide their personal data – that would otherwise be used against you.

Spoofed URL websites entirely rely on traffic generated by phishing attacks. The URL of the spoofed site is disguised as an attachment, text or advert, then distributed to multiple users. Scammers use enticing click-baits to get to your data – all it takes is a single click.

Các kỹ thuật giả mạo phổ biến

Những kẻ lừa đảo đã nghĩ ra một số phương pháp để gửi URL giả mạo khi tấn công người dùng trên internet. Dưới đây là bốn kỹ thuật giả mạo phổ biến được sử dụng ngày nay:

  • Liên kết được lập chỉ mục thành văn bản hoặc nút

Masking links behind texts, button and adverts have been the most preferred techniques for scammers. And while it may seem easy to spot, some hackers still use this common trick to send spoofed URLs – and it works most of the time. However, if you suspect a phishing attack, easily spot spoofed URL by placing your cursor over the hyperlink to check the URL for legitimacy.

Scammers use unpredicted tricks like sending you a seemingly legitimate email from your favorite show, requesting you to make monthly payments. Once you click on the pay button, it’ll redirect you to a malicious website, or a Trojan virus will install immediately.

  • Liên kết sai chính tả

Hackers and phishers also like sending emails containing links, and they will make the email appear to originate from a trusted source. They use tricks like changing a single character of a known domain. For instance, we’ve seen several headlines about Netflix email spoofs, and several other users complaining of being tricked into revealing their personal data.

  • Công cụ rút ngắn URL

URL shorteners like bit.ly is another most-preferred method of spoofing URLs. And while shortened links are a great solution – especially for social media posting, e.g. on Twitter – it’s also an easy way for scammers to mask malicious links. Shortened URLs are impossible to tell which is one of them is legitimate, and which one is spoofed.

  • Liên kết với các ký tự không phải Latinh

Với sự xuất hiện của các tập lệnh mới, những kẻ lừa đảo giờ đây có thể vi phạm dữ liệu của bạn một cách dễ dàng. Giờ đây, họ có thể sử dụng các ký tự không phải Latinh để thiết kế URL đồng nhất. Ngụ ý rằng những kẻ lừa đảo hiện có thể sử dụng các chữ cái có glyph, dấu phụ và dấu trọng âm để giả mạo URL.

Even worse, some letters will take the actual form of their Latin counterparts, regardless of their Alphabetic position. This type of spoofed URLs is difficult to detect because the internet allows scammers to register different characters.

Cách nhận biết liên kết giả mạo

  • Before you click any suspicious links, place your cursor over them to check the validity of its URL.
  • Luôn kiểm tra lỗi chính tả, dấu, glyph và dấu phụ.
  • Always take preventive measures such as updating your browser, antivirus, and other apps that connect to the internet. New updates tend to come with improved cybersecurity features.
  • Luôn kiểm tra chứng chỉ URL – phải có chứng chỉ HTTPS.
  • Nếu bạn nghi ngờ về một liên kết, thì rất có thể đó là một URL giả mạo, do đó, tránh mở nó bằng mọi giá.
  • Luôn cảnh giác với các cuộc tấn công lừa đảo mới nhất sẽ cung cấp cho bạn cái nhìn sâu sắc về các kỹ thuật URL giả mạo thịnh hành.
