GhostFrame Phishing Framework Exploits Iframe Architecture for Over One Million Attacks
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
A new phishing framework named GhostFrame has been linked to over one million attacks. Built around a stealthy iframe architecture, GhostFrame conceals malicious behavior within embedded iframes, allowing attackers to evade detection and dynamically adjust phishing content. The framework employs anti-analysis controls and randomized subdomains to maintain stealth and ensure attack continuity. GhostFrame's attack chain involves a benign-looking outer page that loads a secondary phishing page within an iframe, which contains the actual credential-harvesting components. The framework's emails vary widely in themes, including fake contract notices, HR updates, and password reset requests.
