Researchers at Flare uncovered a large phishing operation targeting fans of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: attackers have registered at least 79 typosquatting and lookalike domains that host replica sites combining copied site structure and real FIFA images to harvest credentials and payment details for fake tickets and merchandise, potentially enabling theft and resale of genuine tickets. Awareness, domain verification, and proactive monitoring and disruption of this fraud infrastructure are recommended to protect users.
