An Attacker creates a zuckerjournals.com website by copying and mirroring
HACKERJOURNALS.COM site to spread the news that Hollywood actor Jason Jenkins died in a
car accident. The attacker then submits his fake site for indexing in major search engines. When
users search for “Jason Jenkins”, attacker’s fake site shows up and dupes victims by the fake
news.
This is another great example that some people do not know what URL’s are. Real website:
Fake website: http://www.zuckerjournals.com
The website is clearly not WWW.HACKERJOURNALS.COM. It is obvious for many, but
unfortunately some people still do not know what an URL is. It’s the address that you enter into the
address bar at the top your browser and this is clearly not legit site, its www.zuckerjournals.com
How would you verify if a website is authentic or not?
A.
Visit the site using secure HTTPS protocol and check the SSL certificate for authenticity
B.
Navigate to the site by visiting various blogs and forums for authentic links
C.
Enable Cache on your browser and lookout for error message warning on the screen
D.
Visit the site by clicking on a link from Google search engine
“The attacker then submits his fake site for indexing in major search engines.”
The answer might be “A”, not D.
Yes, the question is really misleading…..I would agree with “A”
The Answer “D” is correct.
Many websites are not using https and SSL certificates.
Um, no. The correct answer is A.
so you would visit a bad site, and maybe get infected, to check it’s references, instead of allowing google to do it for you
