‘I’m Not a Robot’ Becomes a Cyber Trap: Fake CAPTCHA Pages Target Users’ Personal Data
Fraudsters have devised a new way to commit online fraud using CAPTCHA. Cyber criminals are creating fake websites to steal users' passwords and bank details. Let's find out what's happening.
Now, these CAPTCHA that were once used for security in the digital world have now become a threat to users. Cyber attackers are luring people to fake webpages and making them victims of phishing scams using options like "I'm Not a Robot".
While such attacks used to be difficult, they have now become extremely easy. With the help of free hosting platforms like Vercel, Netlify, or other tools, anyone can create a website that looks like a real one in minutes.
With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI), identifying phishing sites has become even more difficult. The design, text, and security alert messages of phishing sites appear so realistic that it's difficult for users to distinguish between the real and the fake.
As soon as a user clicks on a message requesting a password reset, delivery update, or bank verification, they are prompted to fill out a fake form. At that point, their email address, bank details, or other sensitive information are captured by cyber criminals.
