Cybercriminals Can Now Clone Any Brand’s Site in Minutes Using Darcula PhaaS v3

Abstract:

The latest iteration of the Darcula phishing suite represents a significant advancement in cybercriminal capabilities, enabling users to easily create customizable phishing campaigns targeting any brand. Since its exposure in March 2024, over 95,000 new phishing domains and more than 20,000 fraudulent websites have been intercepted. The platform allows users to generate phishing kits on-demand by providing a brand’s URL and utilizing tools to replicate branded landing pages. Additionally, Darcula v3 features an admin dashboard for managing campaigns and facilitates the use of stolen credit card details. The v3 update promises enhanced features, although its release has been delayed.
