Typosquatters Running .om Domain Scam To Push Mac Malware
https://threatpost.com/typosquatters-target-apple-mac-users-with-new-om-domain-scam/116768/
Typosquatters are targeting Apple computer users with malware in
a recent campaign that snares clumsy web surfers who mistakenly
type .om instead of .com when surfing the web. According to
Endgame security researchers, the top level domain for Middle
Eastern country Oman (.om) is being exploited by typosquatters
who have registered more than 300 domain names with the .om
suffix for U.S. companies and services such as Citibank, Dell,
Macys and Gmail. Endgame made the discovery last week and
reports that several groups are behind the typosquatter
campaigns.
