MDR Insights
The MDR intelligence cell recognizes the threat that comes with homograph domains used in phishing attacks. Our monitoring looks for homograph activity targeting the MDR customer base. Although most phishing attacks will use common international domain names, the potential still exists for attackers to create homograph domains to target our customers. Additionally, we have seen business competitors purchase domains and redirect them to the competitor pages, so homographs also generate some business risk. Over the last quarter, ~5% of our intelligence alerts focused on typosquatting were actionable to our customers, as a security or business risk.
