Pattern: Credential-phishing website

A copy of a bank, exchange, delivery or government sign-in page, hosted on a lookalike or throwaway domain. Traffic is driven by text messages, ads or search. Anything typed in — password, card number, one-time code — is relayed to the operator in real time, often while they are already logged into the real account alongside you.

How to recognise it
  • Domain is not the organisation's real domain, however close it looks
  • Reached from a text, DM or ad rather than by typing the address yourself
  • Asks for a one-time code immediately after the password
  • Certificate and domain are days or weeks old
Public references

Sources and method

  • PhishTank community verification

    PhishTank listings are confirmed by multiple independent volunteers before a URL is marked as a valid phish.

  • Primary observation

    The page or profile this listing was created from.

  • 31 community reports

    Independent submissions from people who ran into this. Reports are matched on the identifier, not the name, so renaming does not reset the count.

Checked against our live signals at listing time and re-checked whenever the identifier appears in a new report or feed update. If you believe this listing is wrong, you can appeal it and we will re-check the evidence.
