Fraudulent websites used similar names, trademarked logos and graphics as biotechnology companies developing COVID-19 vaccines to steal personal information from users, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Friday.
Domain names “mordernatx.com” and “regeneronmedicals.com” were seized after Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officials learned the websites were collecting personal data from users, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An investigation revealed that the websites were collecting personal data from visitors to commit fraud, phishing attacks, and to deploy malware such as viruses and spyware.
