Separate phishing campaigns targeting thousands of victims impersonate FedEx and Microsoft, among others, to trick victims. Attackers are exploiting a well-known open redirect flaw to phish people’s credentials and personally identifiable information (PII) using American Express and Snapchat domains, researchers have found. Threat actors impersonated Microsoft and FedEx among other brands in two different campaigns, which researchers from INKY observed from mid-May through late July, they said in a blog post published online. Attackers took advantage of redirect vulnerabilities affecting American Express and Snapchat domains, the former of which eventually was patched while the latter still is not, researchers said. Open redirect is a security vulnerability that occurs when a website fails to validate user input, which allows bad actors to manipulate the URLs of domains from legitimate entities with good reputations to redirect victims to malicious sites, researchers said. The vulnerability is well known and tracked as CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site (‘Open Redirect’). “Since the first domain name in the manipulated link is in fact the  original site’s, the link may appear safe to the casual observer,” INKY’s Roger Kay explained in the post. An example of the malicious redirect domain is: httpsafecom/redirect?//maliciouscom. The trusted domain, then—in this…

Snapchat will now let users share their follower counts to the public, a feature that users have asked for since the app launched nine years ago. The new feature was first spotted by Houston-based social media consultant Mike Metzler, who noted on Twitter that Kylie Jenner appears to be the most-followed celebrity on the platform, with roughly 36.4 million subscribers — that’s more than YouTube star David Dobrik and music producer D.J. Khaled combined. To share their follower count, the Snapchat user needs to be registered as a creator, which is either a business account with a public profile or a high-profile person making content on the app. Typically these are celebrities — alongside Jenner, there’s TikTok star and dancer Charli D’Amelio (who reports 13.7 million followers) and President Donald Trump, who has 1.9 million followers on Snapchat.
