‍Matthijs Welle reports on a very disturbing scam that's flooding Google's search results at the moment and it could effect your business.

Here is how these scammers are getting customer and employee details:

1. Hackers create fake websites mimicking legitimate login pages
2. They use sponsored Google ads to push these sites to the top of search results
3. The fake URLs often have slight differences, making them hard to detect (See above pic)
4. Once guests enter the fake site, hackers can steal sensitive data and contact them directly, falsely requesting new credit card information

The next question on most people's list would be 'How can we stop this?'.While Google does its best to keep up with scammers' evolving techniques, it may sometimes be slow to react.Here are Matthijs' suggestions:

• Use bookmarks for login pages - train your team never to use Google (or search engines) to find login pages
• Enforce two-factor authentication - for ALL your employees
• Review which users have access to data in your system - regularly

Stay safe out there, everyone!
