Symantec has observed that most phishing URLs associated with Chinese brands attempt to trick users by stating that they are winners of a great prize. The fake websites declare that the visitors are winners for reasons such as:
1. Customers of the brand were chosen for a lucky draw and that the customer won the draw.
Symantec has observed a sudden rise in phishing on Indian brands recently. The number of phishing URLs on Indian brands in the first two weeks of August was nearly 2% of all phishing attacks. In the past, the usual average was typically 0.5%. This means that the rise has grown four fold in just two weeks.
