Fake lookalike Microsoft Win 11 Upgrade

To someone not paying attention, it looks like a legit MS site. It's really a Redline Malware Hub.

The new malware campaign was discovered by the HP Threat Research Team as they noticed a new fake website that looks like Microsoft's, but what it really does is distribute files containing the RedLine stealer malware.

Thanks for this.

One thing I always tell clients, and it has yet to fail me, is that Microsoft never uses a URL that doesn't include "microsoft" somewhere in it. I don't care what it is, if you think you're at a Microsoft webpage and the word "microsoft" is nowhere to be found in the URL, you aren't in a Microsoft webpage.

The same holds true, generally speaking, for most major companies. They take branding very, very seriously and part of that is their web addresses.
