The FBI has recently issued a warning about the hackers spoofing US Census Bureau domains. In the flash alert, the FBI stated that hackers may use these spoofed domains for phishing and credential theft attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The US Census Bureau is a statistical agency of the federal government. It collects statistical data on over 300 million US citizens. The bureau provides data on the US economy and population to allocate over $675B in federal funds per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Division issued this flash alert.

According to the US Intelligence and Security Service, the FBI observed numerous newly registered domains. These entities were not associated with the US Census Bureau. They were the domains that spoofed the Bureau\u2019s websites, likely for malicious purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, lookalike or spoofed domains have altered character(s) with the domain. If not then they associate another domain with similar-looking characteristics to the original domain. For example: If &#8216;<\/span><b>censusburea[.]com<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216; is the legitimate domain then the spoofed could be \u2018<\/span><b>uscensusburea[.]co<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Reportedly, these look-alike domains did not occur to have already been used in any cyber attacks. However, it is expected that hackers may use these domains to spread malware or financially motivated campaigns to target individuals and businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n<title>Threatcop \u2013 Book a Free Demo<\/title>\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Outfit:wght@300;400;500;600;700&#038;display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n<style>\n  .tc-wrap , .tc-wrap ::before, .tc-wrap ::after { box-sizing: border-box;
