Typosquatting of port facility websites

The Marine Transportation System (MTS) continues to be targeted by typosquatting campaigns operated by cyber criminals. In March 2022, Coast Guard Cyber Command published Maritime Cyber Alert 01-22: Spoofed business websites, highlighting well-constructed fake websites masquerading as legitimate business websites to steal information and potentially install malware. Malicious cyber actors continue to spoof U.S. port facility domains using typosquatting techniques in attempts to re-direct users to malicious websites that have similar domain names. Malicious cyber actors are not directly targeting port facilities, rather, they are targeting individuals who incorrectly type a website address. Misspellings of several U.S. port facility domains have recently been registered, likely for malicious purposes.
