🕵️♂️ Dubai Police branding exploited in sophisticated phishing attacks targeting UAE citizens. Fraudsters are impersonating Dubai Police through a surge of phishing text messages, tricking recipients into clicking malicious links that harvest sensitive information. Researchers from BforeAI noted that these attacks utilize official branding to establish credibility, preying on individuals’ trust in law enforcement. The campaign reflects a broader trend of cybercrime in the UAE, where 87% of companies have faced cyber incidents in the past two years. The attackers are leveraging automated domain generation techniques, with many malicious domains traced back to Tencent servers in Singapore. Experts emphasize the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and cross-border cooperation to combat these evolving threats.
