Threat Actors are Using FINRA Impersonation For Their Attacks

DomainTools warns that a sophisticated West Africa-based fraud group is impersonating the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to target users in the United States, according to researchers at DomainTools. The threat actors are attempting to trick investors into providing sensitive documents in order to verify their identities. Users can avoid falling for these attacks if they’re familiar with FINRA’s legitimate roles.
