Hi Libtech, I'm currently working on the follow-up to a general report that we at Access released in 2012, “Global Civil Society At Risk: An Overview of Some of the Major Cyber Threats Facing Civil Society” and I'm looking for examples of 'similar domain' attacks -- attacks in which an adversary creates a similar-looking website to the targeted website with the intention of drawing readers from the original site. This fake domain may display content altered to an opposing view or serve malware to unsuspecting users. This can also include fake social media profiles of CSOs and media orgs.
I have evidence from Iran, Vietnam, Belarus, and Thailand already and would like to build a more complete picture of these attacks if the data supports it. If you are aware of such attacks, please let me know if you haven't already. At minimum, I am looking for the url address of targeted domain (e.g. targeted-cso.org) and the url address of fake domain (e.g. fake-cso.net) and the type of attack (i.e. was it replicating or altering content, serving malware, etc). Feel free to contact me off-list, my PGP key is in my signature. Contributions and data can be anonymous or attributed as desired, and I'm open to feedback on the methodology as well as content.
