FBI Unhooks LabHost Phishing Empire: 42,000 Domains Exposed!
The FBI has dropped a bombshell list of 42,000 phishing domains tied to the now-defunct LabHost platform. While LabHost may have been dismantled in April 2024, the FBI’s domain dump serves as a cybersecurity treasure map, ready to help defenders block future attacks and spotlight past breaches.
Hot Take:
Looks like the FBI isn’t just fighting crime; they’re also moonlighting as digital real estate agents, showcasing an impressive 42,000-domain portfolio that nobody wants to buy! If only LabHost had offered a loyalty program for phishers, maybe they’d still be swimming in the deep end of the cybercrime pool. But alas, the bait has been snatched, and the phishing hole is now just a fishbowl, with the FBI tapping on the glass.
