FBI WARNS BAD ACTORS ARE SPOOFING THE IC3 CYBERCRIME REPORTING WEBSITE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The FBI warns that cybercriminals are creating fake versions of its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) website to steal personal information from victims attempting to report cyber crimes. The spoofed sites use misspelled URLs, alternative domains, and poor graphics to trick users into entering sensitive data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and banking information. Users should verify they're on the official IC3 site by ensuring the URL is exactly "www.ic3.gov" with HTTPS and avoid clicking on sponsored search results that may redirect to fraudulent sites.
