Online attackers bent on stealing personal information are using a visual deception to trick people into visiting malicious websites, a post circulating on social media claims.
The claim appears to be true. Credible sources dating back to the early 2000s give a similar warning against this kind of "spoof" of the website a user intends to visit. But similar exploitations have emerged recently as well.
Agribusinesses Targeted by Hackers
Agribusiness may not be an industry that the public at large often associates with data breaches and hacking, but whatever the perception may be, the agricultural sector of the American economy is increasingly a ripe target for malicious foreign actors, digital fraud, and other perpetrators of cybercrime.

The cyberattack was first discovered in late 2020. Researchers initially believed the hacking campaign targeted the GAVI alliance , a coalition of governments and companies that help developing countries distribute vaccines . At the time, it was unclear if the campaign was successful, according to IBM's global lead for threat intelligence, Nick Rossmann.

Hunting Hackers: Reducing the Time to Discovery | CSO Online
Research conducted by IBM and the Ponemon Institute shows the time to detect a data breach for businesses averages 280 days - a significant gap between the time a network is compromised and its discovery. The Codecov and SolarWinds are strong, loud proof points to the widespread damage possible if hackers achieve undetected, unfettered access to a company's systems, networks and partners or customers.
Reducing the time to discovery is significant for businesses; it means less data on the dark web, fewer important pieces of intellectual property leaked, ransomware attacks thwarted and less reputational damage.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — The ransom time clock on the Presque Isle Police Department's ransomware attack ran out Wednesday at about 9:30 p.m. in a dramatic red-numbered countdown of minutes and seconds racing toward zero on the hacker's dark web site.
But it looks like the unidentified criminals have not yet made their next move with the site on hold and a message of new updates, "Coming Soon," posted since last night.
