redirecting users to another website when a search engine is entered into the browser. The attacker uses a malicious search engine to redirect users to ad sites or a specific phishing website. This can be done by hijacking browser resources or detecting when users navigate to a particular financial site.
If a user would open their browser and enter the web address of their bank in order to complete a transaction in online banking. However, the user is redirected to a fraudulent site that looks like the bank’s website. For this reason, it doesn’t seem suspicious – the user doesn’t check the address line and proceeds to enter their login data. An error message appears. The user is briefly surprised by the message, but puts it down to technical problems and tries to make the bank transfer later. Nonetheless, the attackers were able to capture the user’s login data from their entries. They can now use this data to gain access to the user’s account and send themselves large sums of money. The user only discovers the attack a few days later when they check their account statement and see the unfamiliar transfer.
