The remarkable penalty-shootout in the finals was hailed the champion of the event and it was a trending topic in social media and headline news. Before and during this event, the online users were rejoicing and betting their favorite teams at the same time cybercriminals were taking advantage of the event to deploy spam and scams. With this, law enforcement, and in particular, INTERPOL, had to step up and tapped its gateway partners to be on the lookout and report to them the cyberthreats surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Trend Micro helped by proactively monitoring our global threat intelligence that revealed many malicious websites and scams before and during the event. For example, we saw websites disguised as ticketing systems of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and many survey scams. We shared this information to INTERPOL, helping in their goal of preventing attacks and mitigating the risk posed by the fraudsters of this event. Furthermore, through our global threat intelligence, we monitored the detections of malicious websites and files from the country of Qatar as INTERPOL worked closely with them to prevent cybercriminals and malicious actors in disrupting the sporting event.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look a bit deeper into the different cyber threats we discovered and shared with INTERPOL, besides blocking them for our customers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Malicious Websites found throughout 2022<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6.5\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"3\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-1.PNG\" alt=\"figure-1\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 1: Trend Micro detections of malicious sites bearing keywords of \u201cFIFA\u201d and \u201cWorld Cup\u201d<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-2.PNG\" alt=\"figure-2\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 2: Top affected countries of malicious sites related to FIFA World Cup<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-3.png\" alt=\"figure-3\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 3: Timeline of FIFA World Cup Cyberthreats<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"33.5\">\n<div readability=\"12\">\n<p><u><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Fake Ticketing System<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n<p>It is no wonder due to the millions of potential victims that cybercriminals created dubious sites for selling tickets to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and trick users into inputting their personal information and credit card details in phishing attempts. We observed a few sites such as fifa-ticketssales[.]com and prime-ticketssales[.]com, both imitating the FIFA World Cup ticketing page and one showing an unbelievable number of sold tickets and remaining number of seats. We also identified contact details of scammers such as phone numbers and email addresses, some of these phone numbers were linked to other scam sites which is typical for scammers to reuse phone numbers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-4.png\" alt=\"figure-4\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 4: Fake selling tickets of FIFA World Cup<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-5.png\" alt=\"figure-5\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 5: Questionable number of tickets sold and used as lure to users<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"36.937613567535\">\n<div readability=\"21.107207752877\">\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\"><u>Fake Live Streaming<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cybercriminals created several fake streaming sites to lure victims to click on it. We identified around 40 unique domains that hosted fake streaming of FIFA World Cup. Example sites are watchvsportstv[.]com\/2022-FIFA-WORLD-CUP-FINAL, sportshdlivetv[.]com\/FIFA-WORLD-CUP-FINAL and istream2watch[.]stream\/video\/fifa-world-cup. From our analysis of these fake live streaming pages, the user will be redirected to websites with subscription forms or premium access requests and lure these users to subscribe and pay. Among the top countries detected were Brazil, Philippines, and Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\"><u>Survey Scams<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Survey scams are relentless and scammers have been using them for a long time now. One we reported for example was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2012\/03\/23\/pinterest_attracts_scammers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2012\/03\/23\/pinterest_attracts_scammers\/<\/a>. While the FIFA World Cup 2022 was ongoing, especially as we approached the semi-finals and final game, we observed malicious sites hosting survey scams that offered free 50GB mobile data. We identified more than 40 IP addresses or servers hosting the scam sites. Mostly were registered by Chinese names and hosted under Google LLC. Survey scams aim to trick users into obtaining free mobile data 50GB for a faster streaming of video or a free mobile network. It tricks users into inputting phone number and personal information thus in the end it will incur charges to the victims not knowing that it is a scam and may use their personal information for future spam or scams. Additionally, mostly it will redirect to fake dating sites and would require and harvest email address which can allow spammers to include them in their next wave of spam.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-6.png\" alt=\"figure-6\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 6: FIFA World Cup Survey scam that offers free mobile data<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-7.jpg\" alt=\"figure-7\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 7: It requests for phone number which may lead to unwanted charges.<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"8\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"6\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-8.png\" alt=\"figure-8\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 8: Displays the offer is successful, however, it requires the user to share it in WhatsApp, thus propagating this survey scam<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"image\" readability=\"6\">\n<figure class=\"image-figure\" readability=\"2\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/content\/dam\/trendmicro\/global\/en\/research\/24\/a\/defends-2022-fifa-world-cup-\/figure-9.PNG\" alt=\"figure-9\"> <\/p>\n<p><figcaption>Figure 9: Survey scam common web page title<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"richText\" readability=\"31.878956372968\">\n<div readability=\"15.721129170231\">\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\"><u>Crypto scamming and malicious app<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Based on external reports there were crypto scammers that leveraged the sporting event.
