Zscaler ThreatLabZ details an uptick in Black Friday-related threats—domain squatting using the .blackfriday TLD, phishing pages and malicious documents (e.g., “Black Friday Bonus Registration.docx”), fake e-commerce shops, browser-based crypto-mining, and commodity infostealers such as Fareit and Loki (MD5s provided). The report includes observed IoCs, examples of registrant abuse for fraudulent stores, and a set of mitigation recommendations (URL inspection, 2FA, browser add-ons, patching, avoiding unsecured Wi‑Fi).
