The term "phishing" refers to the creation of fraudulent pages of well-known payment services and other websites in order to steal money.
"Our statistics show spikes in the number of phishing pages during match ticket sales. Every time tickets went on sale, fraudsters mailed out spam and activated clones of official FIFA pages and sites offering fake giveaways allegedly from partner companies," the company's report said.
In late May, the company saw the spread of phishing with offers of cheap flights from well-known airlines, and its analysts warned that the number of fraudulent "favorable offers" from popular hotel booking services may increase soon.
"To make their sites seem credible, cybercriminals register domain names combining the words 'world,' 'worldcup,' 'FIFA,' 'Russia,' etc. (for example, worldcup2018, russia2018, fifarussia). Normally, though not always, such domains look unnatural (for instance, fifa.ucozx.site) and have a non-standard domain extension. So in most cases, a close look at the link in the email or the URL after opening the site should be enough to avoid the bait," the company said.
