A few days ago, the Reporting Center of the Cyberspace Administration of China accepted and disposed of a batch of counterfeit enterprise frauds in accordance with the law, and announced the list of frauds through the Internet. **The counterfeits include 11 giant companies in the fields of e-commerce, finance, and energy.
The reporting center pointed out that some criminals imitated the official ** of some domestic enterprises, used similar web page logos and content to confuse the real one, and used "high returns", "low-priced goods" and "refund and liquidation" as bait to induce netizens to visit illegal ** or **fraudulent apps, defraud personal sensitive information, induce money transfers, and carry out fraudulent activities. These counterfeiting scams** seriously affect the corporate image, reputation and normal business activities, and harm the interests of netizens.
Revealed: The "camouflage tool" of phishing**
For the deception of counterfeiting, the reporting center has also sorted out. Criminals fraudulently use corporate brand names and trademarks, steal public information released by formal **, and set up false **, which is basically the same as the regular **, making it difficult for users to distinguish the real from the fake.
The reason why this happens is that phishing** also uses SSL certificates, which are generally the simplest way to verify DV SSL certificates. Since the DV SSL certificate only needs to verify the ownership of the ** domain name, the issuance time is short, and the application threshold is low. It is precisely because of these characteristics that DV SSL certificates are used maliciously by phishing**, and users who do not know the truth are often deceived and suffer losses.
However, this does not mean that those who use a DV SSL certificate cannot be trusted, but it is important to carefully check the content of the corporate information in case you encounter a bad actor using a DV SSL certificate.
Countermeasures:How about businessesBreakFishing**Troubled
In the era of digital economy, phishing attacks have long become a widespread cyber security threat, which can easily cause great damage to enterprises and users. For phishing, the most effective solution for enterprises is to improve the level of certificates used by enterprises and increase the verification process to ensure that the network identity of the enterprise is authentic and reliable.
When deploying an SSL certificate for **, you can choose an OV SSL certificate or an EV SSL certificate. The verification process of these two certificates will be more complex and strict, not only for the enterprise ** domain name, but also for the enterprise information.
OV SSL certificates, also known as enterprise-level certificates, are a more secure HTTPS encryption solution. Unlike DV SSL certificates, which are automatically issued, OV SSL certificates add enterprise information verification on the basis of domain name verification to ensure that enterprise information is true and valid. In terms of certificate display effect, OV certificate increases enterprise identity information compared with DV certificate, which is convenient for enterprises to establish credibility, and is the first choice for enterprises to deploy SSL certificates.
The EV SSL certificate is a step further on the protection of the OV SSL certificate. When a user accesses an EV SSL certificate deployed, not only will the browser address bar display a security lock logo, but also the browser address bar will turn green, which is more secure for finance, banking, and online transactions involving transaction payment, customer privacy information and account passwords.
For enterprises**, it is not enough to simply deploy DV SSL certificates. With the acceleration of digital transformation, Tianwei Chengxin suggests that enterprises should actively deploy OV SSL certificates or EV SSL certificates that meet their business needsOn the other hand, it is also conducive to the search engine ranking of enterprises, attracting more potential customers, improving customer acquisition rate, and increasing transaction volume, which is beneficial to the development of enterprises.
