Typosquatters Feast on CrowdStrike Outage Chaos: IT Admins Beware!
Typosquatting domains are preying on desperate IT admins after last week’s CrowdStrike outage. Despite their unsophisticated nature, these domains are exploiting the chaos with various extortion and phishing schemes. SentinelOne highlights URLs like fix-crowdstrike-apocalypse[.]com selling “fixes” for astronomical prices.
Hot Take:
Oh, CrowdStrike, you’ve done it again. This time, it’s not just a crash; it’s a crash course in how to attract typosquatters like bees to honey. Who knew a Blue Screen of Death could be so profitable?
Key Points:
- Thousands of typosquatting domains registered post-CrowdStrike outage
- Typosquatters leveraging desperation of IT admins with opportunistic campaigns
- Examples of dubious domains include fix-crowdstrike-apocalypse[.]com
- Phishing campaigns also reported, distributing remote access trojans like Remcos
- Continued BSOD issues leading to mixed results with CrowdStrike’s remediation efforts
