Threat Score
Researchers at Fortra observed a 40% increase in cloaked SEO poisoning ("Chameleon SEO") in Q2 2026, where attackers use cloaked search results and recently registered typo‑squat second‑level domains (e.g., .ph.com, .gr.com) to host phishing pages that rank highly in Google and Bing for high‑intent banking keywords; the attacks target several major financial institutions, are designed to evade automated scanners, and Fortra advises using official apps or bookmarked URLs instead of clicking top search results.
