Beware the ZIP File: Phishers Exploit .ZIP Domains to Deceive Victims

May 29, 2023
Cyber Threat / Online Security

A new phishing technique dubbed “file archiver in the browser” is being used to imitate file archiver software, such as WinRAR, within web browsers when victims visit a .ZIP domain. Security researcher mr.d0x revealed that this phishing attack involves creating a realistic landing page using HTML and CSS to mimic genuine file archive software, hosted on a .ZIP domain to enhance its legitimacy.

In a typical attack, cybercriminals can redirect users to a credential theft page when they click on a file that appears to be included within the fake ZIP archive.
