Why attackers target logistics & delivery
Almost everyone is waiting on a delivery at some point, so a lookalike of a courier or tracking page has an unusually wide, receptive audience. Impersonation typically arrives by SMS or email with a tracking or redelivery-fee lure, driving victims to a cloned page that harvests card or login details. Low individual payouts are offset by enormous volume.
Common impersonation patterns
- Tracking- and redelivery-themed combosquats (-tracking, -delivery, -parcel, -redelivery)
- Typosquats of the courier brand on cheap TLDs used in SMS lures
- Fake "pay a small redelivery fee" checkout pages
- Lookalikes optimized for mobile, since most lures arrive by SMS
